Hello
I am researching the above individual as he has been missed off a local war memorial and I am building the case to have him added.
Samuel Dearsley was born in Nov /Dec 1873 in Stradishal Suffolk and attested 11Dec 1894 in Bury St Edmunds. He served with the 1st Btn for all his 18 yr career, yet on his discharge, there was no medal entitlement.
Could colleagues please assist with why this may be the case, or point me in the direction of where I may find out more on this chap.
Incidentally he re enlisted on the outbreak of WW1 and died of C/A Stomach in 1916
Thank you
