Sgt. George Compton
British Army 6th Btn. Kings Shropshire Light Infantry
from:Tardebigge, Worcs.
I have recently become the owner of a silver cigarette case engraved with the following inscription.
"Sergt Geo. Compton Kings Shropshire Light Infantry 1915-19.
In recognition of his service in the great war. From Tardebigge Parish."
On the reverse of the case is engraved
"France & Belgium"
I have done a small bit of research and discovered his Regimental Number was 11992 and he was a Private, Lance Corporal and eventually a Sergeant.
