Military Medal, Private Alfred James Edgar, 4th Shropshire Light Infantry.

 

He began his service with the Welsh Regiment, there is an Alfred James Edgar who attempted to join the Welsh Regiment during 1916, who passed his medical and was rejected by the Commanding Officer with an earlier regimental number, likely the same person who retried to enlist and managed to succeed.

 

He then transferred to the KSLI and with the 4th battalion earned the Military Medal, appearing in the Edinburgh Gazette of 16th May 1919.

 

He then transferred once more to the Royal Scots, ending the war with the Military Medal and pair.
