My wife has a cup given to her by her uncle, LGS. The inscription reads"Presented to lieutenant L.G.S. by the Officers WOs NCOs and men of letter "E" company 3rd (R) Garr. Battn. Royal Welch Fusiliers on his departure from the battallion October 1918.
Why would the members of a company in October 1918 subscribe to a handsome pot to be given to a lieutenant?
