museumtom Posted 17 July , 2004 Share Posted 17 July , 2004 If a man was entitled to the Victory medal and the war medal this would mean that he joined up after.....which date? regards. Tom Burnell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 17 July , 2004 Share Posted 17 July , 2004 It would not give you a date of enlistment as men who were already serving or who joined in 1914 did not neccessarily embark for Overseas Service until after the 1914~1915 Star Cut off date which was entry into a Zone 'under fire' [ie In range of the Enemy Guns]before December 31st 1915, Entitlement to the BWM/Victory[Only] just confirms O/S Service AFTER that date,not Enlistment date[indeed some who were in France before December 31st were not entitled to the Star] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
