It is possible to have medals re-issued with the name correctly engraved if there is a spelling mistake, altough the original incorrect ones have to be returned. Replacements [becasue of loss, theft etc] don't have the name on them. I'm guessing that "F.F." is Frederick Firth Glendening. What did he do between leaving the Hopewell Inn [1904] and joining up. Do you know? |
Liits you are far too bleeding clever by half

That is correct, Liits. Private 34771, West Yorkshire Regiment, Labour Corps. His name is spelt wrong in the Medal Rolls Index too. I guess it's a bit late to order him a new medal - he died in the 30s! I don't think he ever wore the medal either, as the ribbon is still separate, in it's little brown envelope.
No, I don't know what he did after 1904. I'll have to ask me dad.
