Pair: Private W. A. W. Prentice, Royal Military Police

Korea 1950-53, 1st issue (22081117 Pte. W. A. W. Prentice. R.M.P.); U.N. Korea 1950-54, unnamed as issued, minor edge nicks, good very fine (2) £100-£140

William Alexander Wood Prentice was born in Fife, Scotland in 1930. He was already serving with the Corps of Military Police at the time of his marriage in March 1949 and so it is likely that he was among the earliest contingents sent to Korea from the UK in 1950. He died in 1990 at the Cameron Hospital, Windygates, Scotland.
