Martyn Gibson Posted 31 December , 2004 Share Posted 31 December , 2004 Hi Pals, Two quick questions..... 1. Would every soldier who served on the Western Front be entitled to the British War Medal and the Victory Medal?. 2. What would a soldier who was Monmouthshire Regt but attached to the Kings African Rifles be entitled to medal wise?. He never served in F&F. Many thanks in advance. A very happy and prosperous new year to you all Kind regards Martyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Lees Posted 31 December , 2004 Share Posted 31 December , 2004 Martin, I am sure someone will correct me if I am wrong, but: 1. Yes 2. That depends where he served and has less to do with who he served with. Have you checked for his MIC? The absence of one suggests, but does not prove, that he wasn't entitled to the BWM & Vic medals. Regards, Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes Ken - Wrong old son Only if he was amember of the British or Commonwealth forces - the French, Belgiums etc had different decorations Ian I had to have at least one pedantic post of 2004.
