ForeignGong Posted 18 November , 2014 Share Posted 18 November , 2014 Hi Fantastic set of medals. With Frederick William Stoddart, there is a notation at the start of the list of names that it was for Gallantry between 21st & 30 Aug 1914 https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/28961/page/8937 Here he is listed https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/28961/page/8937 Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Owl Posted 18 November , 2014 Share Posted 18 November , 2014 That has got to be a rare set with 1914 star and 1977 Jubilee medal! I do not see this medal(1977 Jubilee in the image on Post 9)possibly an error? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Old Owl Posted 18 November , 2014 Share Posted 18 November , 2014 Well not quite, the Wardrobe in this case is the Museum of the ...... Located in the heart of Sailsbury this museum is well worth a visit. I thought that I would llike to post some images of their WW1 Related Medal collection. Please forgive the qality of the images. KB Some great groups but the one depicted in Post 1 appears to show two errors: 1) The IGS'08 medal(following the MM) appears to have the clasp Waziristan 1921-24(besides which it has the Crown and Robes head) so this medal should follow after the Victory medal or the GSM dependant on clasp for this medal--which leads to the second error-- 2) The GSM is never awarded without a clasp and also this image shows it with a modified IGS type suspender rather than the normal straight BWM type suspender. Not certain what has occured here but one assumes that the recipient is entitled to both these medals but either wore them incorrectly, or the museum have mounted them incorrectly--a great shame whichever is the case. Can anyone comment? Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scalyback Posted 18 November , 2014 Share Posted 18 November , 2014 I do not see this medal(1977 Jubilee in the image on Post 9)possibly an error? Sorry went via the information rather than the image. It does in indeed end at the 1953 medal. Now I do wonder if a 1914 medal andVC winner did survive to 1977? VC winners got all the "royal" medals automaticly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
