Private 29172 Arthur Binnion
Died Home on Saturday, 27th March 1920, age 21.
Buried in Grave C. "C." I. at Tipton Cemetery, Staffordshire, United Kingdom.
2nd Bn., Border Regiment. 20th Brigade of 7th Division.
Born: Tipton, Enlisted: Unknown, Resident: Tipton.
First landed France & Flanders, post 31st December 1915.
Medal entitlement: British War Medal, Victory Medal.
Soldier's Papers at National Archives did not survive.
No details survive of Arthur's military service, so we cannot tell whether he was discharged due to sickness or wounds.

His medals were never requested by the family, but in 1929 it seems that Mrs A. Duffield (another Aunt) initiated contact with the Ministry of Defence, enclosing his dog tags as proof. The Ministry of Defence returned a form to document his family and ensure the medals were issued to the next-of-kin, but this form was never returned and the medals subsequently destroyed in line with King's Regulations.

Dod 27/3/1920 (21)
