Alfred Hunton's Small Book and papers
Small Book & medals & papers (inside)
Alfred Hunton, 3rd then 9th Norfolk Regiment, was the grandfather of Jill Gooch who has contributed his Soldiers' Small Book with medals, badges and service papers. He was a shoemaker - a family tradition (the contributor and her parents also worked in the shoe industry). No story is attached to A. Hunton; nothing has passed down to the family.
One of the medals belonged to Pte Wright, but his identity is unknown. The cap badge (Royal Artillery) is also unrelated.
