Alfred Charman DCM

One group of Warwickshire medals that has always intrigued me is the group that belonged to Alfred Charman.

The only real reference I have to the man is an electronic copy of the postcard below:



Quite a remarkable group to a man with quite a remarkable hair cut!

While Warwicks Queens South Africa's are fairly common, my research suggests less that 200 Kings South Africa's were issued to the Warwicks, combine that with his India General Service 1908 and his 1914 star trio and its already a very scarce combination. The DCM, I would suggest, makes it unique.

I see no sign of the group at the Warwickshire Regiment museum, but if it is in a collection somewhere I would be interested to find out!
