BillyH Posted 10 October , 2018 Share Posted 10 October , 2018 I probably assumed that King George V would have received war medals, but while searching Ancestry for the Medal Roll for a George ***** I stumbled on the one below. He also qualified for a 1914/15 Star. ('Regiment' : Commands and Staff) BillyH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

daggers Posted 11 October , 2018 Share Posted 11 October , 2018 It is good to see that they picked a clerk with a good hand to write the king’s name. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That raises the question - were the clerks entitled to any medals or were they civil servants? (Sorry for a slight diversion) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good question, but if they served overseas then I would have certainly thought so? BillyH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
