L/Cpl. S. P. Tripp
British Army Suffolk Regiment

In 1974 I bought Lance Corporal Tripp's 1914-15 Star medal in a shop while visiting Lowestoft in Suffolk and like to think it keeps his service in the living memory of a stranger. All I know about L/Cpl Tripp is from the medal: he may have been one of the Old Contemptibles (B.E.F.) and would have been a volunteer/regular. The medal came as a set along with the British War Medal and Victory Medal referred to as Pip, Squeak and Wilfred. I do not know if L/Cpl Tripp survived the war.
