Guest jwhawkins Posted 29 November , 2004 Share Posted 29 November , 2004 Hi I've just printed off the MIC for my father-in-laws's father who he believes received the Mons star. Looking at his medal list he has the standard Victory, British and also the 14 Star and another one with the Ref: SW B Lest. (Or at least that's what it looks like) I've attached the relevent section on the MIC can any one confirm what the above refers is to. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Ian Bowbrick Posted 29 November , 2004 Share Posted 29 November , 2004 The Mons Star is a popular name for the 1914 Star, which he was awarded. His full entitlement was the 1914 Star, Britiah War & Victory Medals plus a Silver War Badge awarded to personnel discharged as a result of wounds or sickness.

Guest Ian Bowbrick Posted 29 November , 2004 Share Posted 29 November , 2004 Out of interest which Home Counties Regiment did he serve with? Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest jwhawkins Posted 29 November , 2004 Share Posted 29 November , 2004 He was a company sergeant with the Queens Regiment. Just out of interest I discovered recently that my grandfather was wounded and discharged he received the 15 star but not the Silver war badge is there a reason for that?

Guest Ian Bowbrick Posted 29 November , 2004 Share Posted 29 November , 2004 Sounds like a split MIC to me. Go to the on-line system and just put in his number and see what comes up. Failing that it could be that he did not apply for a badge. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
