The Man   Edward Petts enlisted into the Devonshire Regiment, service number 14836946 as a Private and served in the latter part of the Second World War.  He was in Palestine following the War and later enlisted into 44 Para Brigade Signal Territorial Force, Royal Signals, Territorial Army, service number 22212903 and promoted to Sergeant.  He was awarded HM Silver Jubilee Medal in 1977.

This group of medals is one I have only been able to find a minimal amount of detail on.  They are in effect 'work in progress' as one day something additional may well be uncovered.  Please feel free to contact me should you know of, or have any information on this man.
The Story   The interesting group of awarded to Edward Petts were acquired by private deal on E-Bay In January 2008.  The group was of immediate interest because of the double long service with two Efficiency Medals, the Silver Jubilee 1977 and named General Service medal.  Despite what appears to be an unusual name, no detail could be taken from Ancestry.UK due to the number of people with the same name!
