A First World War Trio of medals comprising 1914-15 Star, named to "2876 L. Cpl. T.L Jones, R.Fus" and a War Medal and Victory Medal, named to "SPTS-2876 Cpl. T.L Jones R. Fus."

Notes: Thomas Llewellyn Jones served in the 24th (Service) Bn (2nd Sportsman's), The Royal Fusiliers and saw action in France. Rather than be taken from a small geographical area, these particular battalions were primarily made up of men who had made their name in sports such as cricket, golf, boxing and football or the media. It was intended for upper and middle-class men, physically fit, able to shoot and ride, up to the age of 45.

The 24th (Service) Battalion (2nd Sportsman's) was raised in London on 20 November 1914 by Mrs Cunliffe-Owen, became attached to 99th Brigade, 33rd Division in June 1915 and transferred to 5th Brigade in 2nd Division in December 1915. Famous recruits included the millionaire politician Sir Herbert Raphael and cricketer C. P. McGahey. Training took place at Hare Hall near Romford. Amongst those recruited was Frederic Thomas Horne, the Liberal Agent for West Gloucestershire, who fell at the Somme on 5 September 1916.
