This is a scarce and interesting WW1 casualty medal group in contemporary frame to Pte Alexander Douglas Jeffrey who served in the Army Cyclist corps. The medals are frame with the soldiers death plaque and scroll. Medals have been in frame for a very long time and appear to all be correctly impressed”34 Pte A Jeffrey A Cyc Corps”. Pte Jeffrey had a very low service number of 34. I believe Alexander Jeffrey was from Glasgow and was shot in the chest and died of wounds in September 1915. This most likely took place at Gallipoli. I also have his brothers medal group for sale on another listing. He served with the Irish regiment in Gallipoli and was mentioned in despatches. His medal group also being contemporary framed. Both medal groups have both come privately from a house call. Any questions please feel free to ask.
