After my family has decided to spend the last 5 years dedicating our spare time finding out as much as we can about our Family History we have done some research into Harry Evans Worthing who was born in 1870 and joined the Rifle Brigade in 1888. He served as Company Sergeant-Major in the Mounted Infantry Company in Rhodesia 1896-97. In the Boer War he again served in the Mounted Infantry and was twice wounded - at Stinkhoutboom 24 June 1900 and at Nooitgedacht 13 December 1900. He was twice mentioned in despatches and was awarded the Bar to his D.C.M. for gallantry during the Guerilla War. He was appointed Regimental Sergeant-Major of the 5th Battalion Rifle Brigade in 1906 and Quarter Master in 1912. During the Great War he served in France, the Balkans, Salonika and Russia, being mentioned in despatches four times and attaining the rank of Major. He was awarded the O.B.E. in 1924.
These Medal's mean EVERYTHING to our family! And would really deeply request some information as to where they may be now,and any information/photos anything to do with him.
I am aware the medals was last known to be Auctioned off at DNW auctions at the link below.
