WW1 British Medal Trio and Silver Pocket Watch. Gallipoli.RAMC/RAF.

The 1915 star is made out to 1963 Pte W.Carter, RAMC with the other two medals giving his number as 403632 attached to the RAF. Carter was born in Norfolk, his occupation on joing the army was an electrician, joining the RAMC in 1914. His first action is his landing at Gallipoli on the 8/5/1915 which is the eve of the 2nd large scale operation to try a ease the pressure from the Turkish trenches. In 1917 Carter is transferred to the RFC as a mechanic, based of operations being the Middle East. Obviously with the WW2 Defence medal as part of his mounted group this old salt volunteered to do his duty once again. This set of medals comes with a silver pocket watch by J.G.Graves with its nice leather field strap and winding key. The watch works, but I only gave it 3 twist with the key and watch ran for a couple of hours. Watch will surely need a service.
