A Great War trio to Sergeant Harold Pennington
A Great War trio to Sergeant Harold Pennington, Manchester Regiment, died France and Flanders 07/07/17: 1914-15 Star (10736 PTE. H. PENNINGTON. CHES. R.); BWM (10736 SJT. H. PENNINGTON. CHES. R.), Victory Medal (10736 SJT. H. PENNINGTON. MANCH. R.), nearly extremely fine, official alteration from 'MANCH. R.' on BWM; together with this man's identity discs; and a 1914-15 Star and BWM to Captain R.K. Peckover (33rd Punjabis), very fine or better.
Pennington's Medal Index Card indicates that his former unit and number should be preferred even where his later rank was displayed (his Manchester Regiment number was 401097) and this seems to be an interesting case in which a mistake was only partially rectified, leaving the BWM and VM with different naming details.
