There was a Fulham Turner born on 11th September 1873 in Guildford, Surrey, England.
Father James Edward Turner was a wine merchant. Mother was Harriet Jane.
1881 living at Lower Addisconbe Road, Croydon, Surrey.
1891 living at Hare Lane, Godalming, Surrey. Mother Harriet now a widow.
1891 has an 18 year old Fulham Turner emigrating to the United States. His occupation that of a Clerk.
An unusual name and age seems to fit, so could be the man?
NOK in Godalming is pretty good evidence.

Hi Mike,

Below a couple of images of the QSA to the above mentioned man as listed currently on eBay. Is this a new one for your list of extant medals?
