Great War Medals

I am aware of the proposed 'Gallipoli Medal', and also the 'bars' that were proposed for the War Medal, but were there other campaign medals proposed that failed to be approved? Also is there any record of the designs submitted before the final decisions were made?.

Howard Williamson's "Companion" book shows the design submitted by the King for the 1914 star, but not aware of any others.

Many of the medals (e.g. DFC, AFC and the memorial plaque) were design competitions, so there may be records of the designs that were not selected but I'm not sure where you'd find them.

Thanks Jon,

I don't have the Williamson book, it would be interesting to see the King;s design. It does surprise me a little that with medal collecting being so popular that there is not more interest in the alternative designs.
