1914 Star, with clasp (54032 Dvr: R. Harding. R.F.A.), very fine

Richard Harding served in France from 6 October 1914 with 35 Brigade, Royal Field Artillery. The Brigade was based at Woolwich in August 1914, but was placed under the command of 7th Division and was soon thrust into the thick of the action. Landing at Zeebrugge in the first week of October 1914 to assist in the defence of Antwerp, they arrived too late to prevent the fall of the City and instead found themselves defending important bridgeheads to aid the retreat of the Belgian army. The Division subsequently became the first troops to entrench at Ypres and were involved in some of the most significant battles of the Great War; sold with copied MIC.
