from:Manchester
(d.1st Jul 1916)
I have recently obtained the Victory Medal belonging to Richard Starkie Pte 26441 who was born and enlisted in Manchester. He died in action on the first day of The Battle Of The Somme and is buried in the Serre Road Cemetery No2. His medal was sent to his wife who lived Oldham Road Manchester. I purchased the medal from a dealer to keep it in Manchester.
