mickgall Posted 17 September , 2004 Share Posted 17 September , 2004 hi all I was hoping somebody may be able to I.D. the medals in the attached photo of my grandfather. The photo was taken in the early 20's and shows him in a uniform for Camberwell Borough Council so I think it was some sort of offical employee photo. Any help appricated Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael Posted 17 September , 2004 Share Posted 17 September , 2004 I don't know about the medals Mick but he must have been employed in a security role. I wouldn't want to cross him that's for sure ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
9th Black Watch Posted 17 September , 2004 Share Posted 17 September , 2004 Hi Mick, Looks like a trio - 1914/15 Star (or 1914 Star without Bar), British War Medal and Victory - to me. Derek Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
