Researching Sgt. Clemett Harrison Saint

Sgt. C.H. Saint’s gift from the town of Horden for being awarded the Military Medal during WW1.

I’m enjoying looking more and more into my family history and today I am spending a few minutes on C. H. Saint who hailed at one time from the village of Horden, England in County Durham. Great Granddad Saint was given the Military Medal in 1918.

Here’s what Ancestry.com has to say about Sgt. Saint

I found this at the UK National Archives site. It appears he fought in Egypt during the war, in the British Army’s Durham Light Infantry.

I’m hoping to visit Hoden in the fall to see what else I might find out.
