General Service 1918-62, 1 clasp, Cyprus (23017010 Cpl. W. H. Whitefoot. R. Norfolk.); General Service 1962-2007, 3 clasps, Radfan, South Arabia, Northern Ireland (23017010 Pte. W. H. Whitefoot. 1 E. Anglian.); U.N. Medal, for Cyprus, with silver '2' device upon riband, mounted court-style, second with unoffical rivets between clasps, light edge bruising, very fine and a scarce combination (3)

F. H. Whitehood was born in the late 1930s and likely enlisted in the Royal Norfolk Regiment during 1953-54. During a career which spanned approximately 18 years and the constant fluid nature of the regimental organisation of the British Army, he would be required to change his cap badge twice across five campaigns. Having served in Cyprus at the rank of Corporal, he subsequently served with the East Anglian Regiment following the amalgamation with the Royal Suffolk Regiment. His rank upon the General Service Medal 1962-2007 is unlikely due to a demotion due to poor character, but likely upon the creation of the new regiment; sold together with seven metal badges, six cloth badges housed in a file of copied research.
