Pair: Private W. Joyce, 30th Battalion, London Regiment, later Labour Corps

British War and Victory Medals (89745 Pte. W. Joyce. 30-Lond. R.) good very fine, rare to unit (2) £80-£100

The 30th Battalion, London Regiment did not serve overseas as a battalion.

William Joyce attested for the 30th Battalion, London Regiment, and subsequently served overseas during the Great War as Private 626625 in the Labour Corps. His British War and Victory Medals were both issued from the Labour Corps medal roll, but a lack of annotation on his Medal Index Card has seen his medals named to the London Regiment.

Sold with copied Medal Index Card and medal roll extracts.
