Jimmarg Posted 26 June , 2014 Share Posted 26 June , 2014 Good morning everyone I have recently been asked about a Peace Medal that was presented to a George Laister, I suspect around 1919-1920. I have attached a photo of the back and front of the medal which is 9 caret gold. As you will see the medal is marked "Pudsey Peace Celebration - Sports - G Laister". I have tracked down George Laister and will be going through the local papers to find out about the Peace Celebration. What I am not sure about is the symbolism on the front of the medal. My interpretation is St George presenting his sword to God and His Son who in turn offers a laurel branch in recognition of Victory. In the background appears to be horses pulling a plough - in recognition of the effort on the home front. Do you think that this is a valid explanation or am I way off track - any thoughts? Thanks for your help. Best wishes Jim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
