I did write to City Coins with three queries about items in #68 and received replies to all except this medal.

Hello djb
I am trying to research a Jack Rogers of the "Essex Company Burma Mounted Infantry"
I noticed you had a photo of a roll page (attached to a post of over a year ago.)
You don't happen to have any details of Jack Roger?
Any information would be gratefully appreciated
best wishes, John
