Silver Medal L C B H 1910

[DSJ]

A friend has inherited a silver medallion (on a silver chain) from her late husband's uncle who lived in Bury St. Edmonds. The inscription reads L C B H 1910 and underneath are the uncles's initials, T A.

Can anyone please shed light on why he would have been presented with this?

When I saw the LCB, I thought of Le Cordon Bleu. Can you post a photo of it?

[DSJ]

I can't post a photo. The medal is very ornate with an intricate surround. It is probably related to some organisation in the Suffolk area.

Possibly 'Lieutenant-Colonel' in the 'B H' (?) regiment followed by his initials?

[DSJ]

Could be, l'll see if l can find a regiment that fits.

Perhaps the "L C" could stand for "Lions Club"? Also, maybe it could be a sports medal and the "B H" could stand for "Best Handicap". Interesting...Let us know what you find, DSJ.

[DSJ]

An interesting suggestion but the Lions' Club wasn't formed until 1917.

DSJ, good; one possibility has been eliminated. As Sherlock Holmes once said "Once you eliminate the impossible, whatever remains, no matter how improbable, must be the truth". Keep on going with the research. Too bad you can't post a photo, not that it would solve anything, but any clue is valuable. Let's keep going on this.

Also, the fact that he lived in Bury St. Edmonds could be irrelevant.
