1914 Star, with later slide clasp (216 Cpl. R. E. Costigan. R.H.A.); British War and Victory Medals, with M.I.D. oak leaves (Capt. R. E. Costigan.) mounted as worn, minor edge bruising, nearly very fine (3) £80-£100

M.I.D. London Gazette 7 July 1919.
Reginald Ernest Costigan was born in Chesterton, Cambridgeshire, in 1893, and spent his childhood living at 11 Parker Street, Cambridge. He initially served as Corporal with the 1/1st Warwickshire Royal Horse Artillery (T.F.), before being appointed to a commission with the Royal Field Artillery on 30 October 1914. Posted to France the following day with the R.H.A., it seems likely that the news of his advancement and the requirement to attend officer training failed to make its way to the recipient prior to deployment.
Advanced Captain in 1918, and Mentioned in Despatches, Costigan subsequently served post-War with the British South Africa Police at Salisbury, Rhodesia.
