Among this auction lot is a Masonic jewel. It is very sad because the medals come with a letter from the soldier's chaplain explaining how he was killed while getting out of his trench in World War One.
It is being sold by Thomas Rodick and Medcalf in Carlisle and the description reads: "Pte. A. Charlton. Ches. R.; Death Plaque named to Arthur Charlton. With chaplain’s letter explaining how he was killed by shell fire exiting his trench. Also 2 photos of him, a Masonic jewel, & a filligree crowned Maltese Cross."
It is estimated to sell for about £100.
