Private Harry Stokes

Cheshire Yeomanry 2nd Battalion

from:Stockport, Cheshire

My great great grandad Harry Stokes, served in the Cheshire Yoemanry, I'm still trying to trace his war details. I've been told that he does have a medal somewhere within the family, but as of yet, I can not trace it. Can you please tell me if this regiment actually went to war? Information I have recieved have been "no they didnt and he wouldnt have a medal" I know he voluntered around 1913-14, and when his wife died in the workhouse in 1917 he was still in the Regiment. Any help would be much appreciated.

Note: The 2nd Sqd cheshire Yeomanry served on the home front from 1914 until 1918 when they served in Ireland. WW1 medals were only issued to those who served overseas.
