centurion Posted 3 April , 2010 Share Posted 3 April , 2010 This medal belonged to a relative who served in South Africa and WW1 (Salonika) (RE). Sorry for the poor shot (scan of a photo copy of a photo!). The person who had the original (and photo) is no longer contactable. Is it WW1 and if so what is it please?

Staffsyeoman Posted 4 April , 2010 Share Posted 4 April , 2010 If he died in 1928, and wasn't in the military, the ribbon should be plain purple. If awarded before 1922 the medal would be suspended from a ring, and of a different design. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
