Lt. Henry Edward Parker
British Army

I am not personally related to Henry Parker, but I have become the owner of 2 pewter tankards that belonged to him, with the badge showing the South Africa 1900-1902 Battle honour. On one he is shown as Lance Corp. H Parker and on the other as Sergeant H E Parker, E Company 1912. In the absent voters list for 1918 he is recorded with his rank as Lieutenant, but I have not been able to confirm this. His medal award rolls are available showing him as a Sergeant, so perhaps he was never promoted or it was just temporary. He survived the war.
