Up for auction is an original 21st C.E.F. grouping to Jack Halliday in great condition. The group includes his World War One Medal trio, including his Victory medal in bronze, Silver War medal and 191...4/1915 Star. All medals are in excellent condition, with beautiful aged patinas and their original ribbons. The grouping also includes his original dogtag and War Service Pin- these are almost never with their original groups!
His dogtag reads:NO.59412 JACK.HALLIDAY
21.BATT.INFY
CANADIAN
PRES
His War Service pin number (reverse of badge): C55149
The Victory Medal and War Medal are correctly impressed: 59412 J.HALLIDAY. 21-CAN.INF.
His 1914/1915 Star: 59412 PTE J.HALLIDAY. 21/CAN:INF:
Over 15 pages of research are also included in this grouping, detailing the horror he went through during the war. Jack Halliday was born July 9th 1896, and previously served 3 years with the P.W.O.R. He enlisted in Kingston on November 11th 1914, exactly 4 years to the day before the First World War ended (Remembrance Day)!
Jack Halliday was shell-shocked and buried September 16th 1916, sprained his ankle later that year and in May 18th 1918 was diagnosed with a gastric ulcer T.B., finally being discharged as medically unfit. Despite all this, he thankfully survived the War and came home to Canada.
These would be an interesting research project on a WW1 Canadian soldier who went through the horrors of war and came back alive.
