Never mind Paul, they would have certainly printed rather more than a mere handful, you will find one.

This picture is in the Bedfordshire regiment history captioned as the 2nd Battalion on parade in Colchester Barracks receiving its medals in the early 1900s.

My great grandfather may well be in the picture.
6229 Cpl Arthur Frederick Aldridge Bedfordshire Regiment (later Lieutenant Bedfordshire & Hertfordshire Regt)

7361 Pte Thomas Charles Aldridge Grenadier Guards (served in RAMC & Labour Corps during the Great War)
