(An Identical Double Issue of TWO medals.)


First served with the 3rd Battalion The Light Infantry until 1992, which then merged to form the 2nd Battalion The Light Infantry, which was later to form the 3rd Battalion The Rifles (2007) (Afghanistan Campaign)


His first posting as a Private was to Northern Ireland (3rd LI was the first battalion deployed) with subsequent service in the former Yugoslavia & Kosovo. He later served in all the major combat actions and wars including, Sierra Leone, Iraq and Afghanistan. He also received both the 2002 & 2012 Royal Jubilee Medals.

All named medals are officially impressed or laser engraved in their relevant styles and are practically 'mint as issued' on original ribbons. His first Iraq service medal was never delivered to his unit and could not be traced or located by his regimental administration office, a recipient letter confirms. (In our opinion it was probably never produced at all,) so a fully correct new medal was produced which is correctly laser engraved: 24866596 CPL T MOORE LI (R). This DOES NOT affect the validity of this group in any way as the original medal was clearly never produced.

Also, and to further illuminate the "muddled medal" situation at unit level, the L.I. administration office made another total 'bloomer' when it made a double claim, and this time, instead of not receiving his medal, Sgt Moore actually received TWO identical Accumulated Service Medals (1994) which are BOTH here present !

(Hence, a totally correct and unique group of eleven medals !)
