Lt. H. Biggs DCM.
British Army 6th Dragoon Guards
I acquired two named grouping's of 2 different Soldier's of Great Britain, within a trade Deal where I sold a pick-up truck. The first being a Lieut H. Biggs, he was a member of the 6th Dragoon Guards and also the Queens 3rd County of London Yeomanry (Sharpshooter's). I've been trying to research and realized he was a great man and soldier. I've also been looking through many regimental group images, to maybe locate a image of this man,to be added to his great military grouping of awards and decoration's. Before acquiring these grouping's, I didn't realize how special these are to hold. Many write-up's, of one or both of these 2 hero's occurred in the London Gazette, and other publication's, regarding this man. His decorations, were preserved in a display case with another man's, Sjt. J Arthur, who was a member of the Cameron Highlander's. In attempting to research, I discovered when this man earned his DCM's, via write up in London Gazette, on June 23rd,1915.
Maybe through this wonder site, I could possibly make contact with a family member of one of these soldier's. I am an American, and before this, I love researching our war of the State's, WW1 and WW2. Now, I'm finding a love for the British Conflict's, through earlier generation's. If any fellow history buff, finds they have a image of one of these 2 hero's, please feel free to contact me, I'd love to view it, if you didn't mind sharing. I also thank these fine folk's who hold the men of these conflict's, in such high regard. Many Thanks.
