Ian,

That is a really nicely toned medal. Thank you for uploading that.

I have edited your post to show the picture in the message and hope that's OK?

Best wishes

How lovely to have Sgt Cox's QSA.

Re your 17344, of course OK!!!! Trying to improve on my end. However, these camera and computer things don't have windage and elevation knobs - nor a trigger.

Hello Brett,
Was this gentleman the civil engineer that I looked at last year, I think he gave his next of kin as his brother in Chatham, New Brunswick if I remember rightly?
Kind regards Frank

It is indeed the same man. I have not posted his biography on this site because most of it deals with his early life and WWI. I will look at it again later today and reconsider.

Hello Brett,
I thought it might have been, a most memorable day, I remember being rather annoyed with myself on the particular day in question, as I had forgotten who I was looking for and all I could remember was his surname, so I ended up taking a close look at every Cox in the SALH who had surviving papers in the hope that I had your man.
