222745 Pte. F Reid British Army 2nd Battalion Lincolnshire Regiment Among our family's effects are medals awarded to Pte. F. Reid, Service no. 8430, 2/LINC:R, which I'm told means 2nd. Battalion, Lincolnshire Regiment of the British Army. Who Pte. Reid was and how his medals came into our family is a total mystery. My research shows that 2/Linc. joined the 25th Brigade, 8th Div. on its posting to France from Bermuda around October 19th. 1916 and would have later fought at the Battle of St. Quentin. My grandfather, Arnold Kemp, served with the AIF during WWI and was killed at the Battle of St. Quentin in September 1918. When I was quite young, my father gave me a signet ring bearing the initials 'FSR', which I'm now wondering might have belonged to Pte. F. Reid. Any help with this mystery would be appreciated.
