Watch List notes:

An Extremely Rare 'Husband and Wife' Set of two 'matched' Great War Pairs awarded to Reverend Harold Robert Parnell Tringham, Royal Army Chaplain's Department, and to the lady who would become his wife either during or very soon after the war, Nurse Hester Elizabeth Erskine Cran, V.A.D., comprising: British War and Victory Medals (Rev. H. R. P. Tringham); and: British War and Victory Medals (H. E. E. Cran. V.A.D.); the first pair loose, the second swing mounted on bar with matching miniatures, also offered with possibly related WW2 Defence Medal and Special Constabulary Long Service Pair to Joseph Sherwood, with O.H.M.S. box of issue; generally toned, about extremely fine. Reverend Harold Robert Parnell Tringham (c. 1875-1964) was born in Godalming Surrey, the son of Reverend William Tringham. Educated at Portsmouth Grammar School and Clare College, Cambridge, he was ordained as a Deacon in 1899, and Priest in 1900, during which time he served as Assistant Missioner of Clare College Mission, Rotherhithe, between 1899 and 1905, and then as Vicar of St Jude's, Peckham during the War. At the same time, he joined up to serve in the Great War as a Chaplain to the Forces 4th Class. During his time in France, he appears to have met a certain Nurse Hester Elizabeth Erskine Cran, V.A.D., the daughter of Doctor George Cran, also serving in France with the V.A.D., and as medical officer to the 7th Bn Gordon Highlanders. Nurse Cran served at the V.A.D. Auxiliary and Military Hospitals between 1914 and 1916, and later serving in the British Red Cross Society Hospitals at Wimereux, Calais and Le Treport between 1916 and 1918. During this time Nurse Cran and Reverend Tringham met, and were married soon after, likely in France, with their first son Robert born in 1920. (7)
