Included with the medals is the recipient's bible, a photograph album featuring many images from the 1913 annual Territorials camp. A plated silver cup that was presented for ' General Efficiency 1913'. Along with two photographs of Prall and twelve letters from his mother. Finally, his officer's record of service and commission document.

George Arthur Kenneth Prall was born in Willesden Green, Middlesex, in 1895. His family manufactured coats and hats, and at the time of the 1911 census, the family were living and working in Hammersmith.

George was a pre-war territorial and attended the 1913 annual summer camp. A member of the 10th Battalion of the Middlesex Regiment, he landed in France on the 9th of March 1915. George was wounded and then commissioned into the Labour Corps on the 17th of July 1917 as a Lieutenant. As he didn't return to France with this new rank, and his service from then on was home service, his medals are named to the highest rank he held while on active service in France.

During the Second World War, he was recommissioned as a Lieutenant on the 9th of July 1940, serving with the Auxiliary Pioneer Corps.

George passed away in Ipswich in 1985.
