Lightly toned, a few light marks and tiny scratches, about very fine. Sergeant John Kidd was born in Perth c. 1882 and attested for service with the Seaforth Highlanders on the 8th of April, 1901 at Perth, at the age of 19, having previously worked as a Dyer. He served for a total of 12 years with the Colours, including one year in South Africa, being discharged from further service with the 2nd Battalion on the 18th of July, 1913 at Thorncliffe. His intended place of residence was noted as 55 Strathmore Street, Bridgend, Perth.

The incorrect initial ‘H’ rather than ‘J’ on the medal is no doubt a mint error. Sold with copy attestation papers.
