The Great War campaign group to Sergeant G. H. White, Hampshire Regiment, who was awarded a commendation for distinguished conduct in the Field

1914-15 Star (9479 L. Cpl. G. H. White, Hamps. R.); British War and Victory Medals (9479 Sjt. G. H. White, Hamps. R.), somewhat polished, nearly very fine (3)

Gordon Hatfield White was born on 28 July 1895 and enlisted in the Hampshire Regiment in January 1914. Embarked for the Balkans in June 1915, he likely witnessed active service in the Gallipoli operations. More certain is the fact he was later awarded a Divisional Commendation for distinguished conduct in France, where he served as a Sergeant in the 1st Battalion; an original cut-out section of the named 4th Division card is included. White, who was also a recipient of the Silver War Badge, died in Bournemouth in May 1950.

See Lot 205 for the medals awarded to his three sons, all of whom witnessed active service with the Royal Navy in the Second World War.
