Pair: L. V. Hide, Mercantile Marine British War and Mercantile Marine War Medals (Lewis V. Hide) very fine (6) £120-£160
Charles George Joseph Ireson was born at Croydon, Surrey, in 1890, and attested for the Durham Light Infantry on 15 December 1908. He served with the 2nd Battalion during the Great War on the Western Front from 8 September 1914. He was discharged from the 26th Battalion, D.L.I., on 13 October 1917, aged 27, and was awarded a Silver War Badge, No. 255487. Following his army discharge he saw service in the Merchant Navy, and he died at Croydon in 1964.
Ireson appears to have used both Charles and George as a Christian name which will not have helped the official confusion regarding both his initials and his surname which is spelled ‘Ireson’ on the 1914 Star and the Mercantile Marine Medal, ‘Iveson’ on the British War Medal, and ‘Iverson’ on the Victory Medal. Note also the differing initials used, though the service number is consistent on the Great War trio. There are two medal index cards, one for the 1914 Star (Ireson), and another for the BWM & VM (Iveson). His Mercantile Marine medal card refers to him as Charles George Ireson.
Lewis Victor Hide was born at Surbiton, Surrey in 1892. His Merchant Navy record card shows that he served in R.M.S. Kenilworth Castle of the Union Castle Line in 1918. He left the Merchant Navy after the War and became a heavy goods railway porter. He died in Crawley, West Sussex, in 1978.
