this is the newest addition to my medal collection I have found out a bit about him

Records of His Life

William Bayley's life is a fascinating story of an immigrant who returned to his roots to fight in the Great War.

1. Early Life in Paterson

• Birth: He was born around June 1892 in New Jersey, shortly after his parents arrived from England.
• Home Address: The 1910 Census shows the family living at 140 Slater Street in Paterson, NJ.
• Employment: Like his father, William worked as a "helper" in a silk mill before the war.

2. Military Service (1914–1918)

William didn't wait for the United States to join the war (which happened in 1917). He traveled to Scotland and enlisted early on.

• Enlistment: He joined the 1st Battalion, Royal Scots Fusiliers.
• Entry into War: As noted on your slip (26.7.15), he arrived in France on July 26, 1915.
• Rank: He rose to the rank of Lance Corporal.
• Awards: In addition to the Victory Medal you have, he was also entitled to the 1914-15 Star and the British War Medal. This trio is affectionately known by collectors as "Pip, Squeak, and Wilfred."

3. Post-War and Later Life

• Survival: Unlike many of his comrades, William survived the war.
• Return to Paterson: Records show he returned to New Jersey. In the 1920 Census, he is back in Paterson, living with his mother Alice (who was then a widow) and working as a weaver in the silk mills.
• Death: He passed away in December 1968 while still residing in the Paterson area (Fair Lawn/Paterson).

one of my passions is collecting old antique daguerreotypes but this one shakes you to think This was a lady in her Sunday dress one day in 1850 is quite amazing I would like some help though how do you tell it is a American and not European daguerreotype cause I heard the Americans put them into cases ps the photo is of one I’m bidding on

unpopular opinion king Louis Philippe I wasn’t that bad of a king. I know he was not the amazing but he wasn’t really starving the people a few there but he did heal the economy at one point. but overthrowing, him in a few days to weeks is a bit to much but he did escape to brit so win win. what’s your opinions on it talk in the comments but I don’t mind him
