Hello Steve, well would like get back what I pay for the medal ( I keep all original receipt of purchase ) but but of course I could always work with the family I’m not an unreasonable man.
obviously if the family decide that they wouldn’t want it back and want sell there other medal I would obviously make a very strong offer to reunite the medals .
A background on LT John Alexander Hunter, As as previously posted Born 1888 Sligo Ireland. Son of John & Elizabeth Laing Hunter. Originally joining 7th Leinster regiment landed in France in 16.12.1915, He must be pretty switched on as was select for commission 31.12.15 . Commissioned into 5th royal inniskilling fusiliers in January 1916 . It would serve on the Macedonian front. In 1917 He would be Wounded leading a raiding party (*LT Hunter, *Cpl Duncan, *Pte Kelly (who died of his wounds ) Pte Beeby and Pte Curran )
*Medals currently in my collection
He list as take shrapnel from a grenade but manage to get back To friendly lines. From there he would be downgraded and appeared to be placed on the regulars (1st,2nd or most likely 3rd Depot ) he would’ve resigned his commission in 1920 due to being seriously ill due to The wounds is he received.
Hope it helps
kind regards
