A FIRST WORLD WAR TERRITORIAL MEDAL GROUP OF FIVE TO AN OFFICER IN THE 1/7 HAMPSHIRE REGIMENT. A Great War group of five comprising War Medal and Victory Medal named to Major T.V. Rebbeck, Territorial War Medal to Capt T.V. Rebbeck Hamps R. 1937 Coronation Medal and George V Territorial decoration, hallmarked for London 1920. Mounted as worn. Much the rarest of the First World War campaign medals there were only 78 Territorial War medals awarded to officers in the Hampshire Regiment.
Thomas Victor Rebbeck was born in 1887, the son of Charles Rebbeck, an Estate Agent in Bournemouth who lived at 64 Drummond Road in Boscomb. He was Captain from 9th April 1910, he seems to have undertaken much of his service in India where he is recorded in November 1910 and where the 1/7th Battalion of the Hampshire Regiment spent much of the War. Following hostilities he has an address in Gervis Place, Bournemouth and it is quite possible that he was involved with the family firm of Rebbeck Brothers Estate Agents in Poole Road after the war. It seems he died in 1942 at the age of 55. With copied Medal Index Card and other rolls etc. *CR Good condition as worn.
