Guest rgood Posted 7 November , 2012 Share Posted 7 November , 2012 can anyone help in identifying the attached medal please? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Owl Posted 7 November , 2012 Share Posted 7 November , 2012 Hi and Welcome to the Forum, It may be some sort of Soldiers and Sailors Benevolent Society circa WW1, but I cannot work out what 'Scarnavia' stands for? Presumably British Colonial, maybe Canadian or is it Scouts? Appears to have a Fleur de Lys between the flag poles and the figure below looks like a scout--I think!! Scouts Army and Navy something!! Association? Any ideas?? Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sutton-in-craven Posted 8 November , 2012 Share Posted 8 November , 2012 Hi rgood, is there any chance of getting a close-up shot of the medal itself (not the ribbon or SCARNAVIA clasp), both front & back? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Doc2 Posted 8 November , 2012 Share Posted 8 November , 2012 what is the blue flag with the union jack in the corner? Does that help any? Doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
regimentalrogue Posted 8 November , 2012 Share Posted 8 November , 2012 Possibly an Australian school award, I found this snippet of explanation for the name on the clasp: Scarnavia is a name from an old school story writing assignment, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wheelsjbl Posted 8 November , 2012 Share Posted 8 November , 2012 I don't think there is an Australian connection. The flag on the right looks like the blue ensign. The 3 figures look like army, scouts and navy. This would make sense if it is pre-RAF days. I would suggest it is some kind of Scouting badge as it doesn't have a crown on top, but rather the scouting emblem! Just a thought Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staffsyeoman Posted 8 November , 2012 Share Posted 8 November , 2012 I would go so far to say it may not be WW1 and may even be Boer War. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
