Remembered Today:

unusual inscribing MM Trio

Recommended Posts

I have a MM trio (MM,War & Victory) medals

 

the MM has 2115204 Pte W,C. Marat, 4th Cdn/M.G.C. 965 Dominion inscribed on rim

the War medal has  2115204 Pte. W.C. Marat 44 Can. Inf. inscribed on rim

the Victory Medal has 2115204 Pte. W.C. Marat 44 Can. Inf. 965 Dominion inscribed on rim

I have searched for the 965 Dominion meaning but have found nothing to explain it, I have not seen this on any other medals I have viewed

also would any one know why it is inscribed on the MM/Victory and not on the War Medal

 

thanks

 

regards

Does the 965 Dominion part look to be contemporary with the rest of the inscription?

It appears to be an address, which is a bit strange....

the 965 Dominion lettering is consistent with the rest of the lettering, it is possible he had it added, the medals have been anodized and have new ribbons attached, strange though it only appears on the 2 medals and not on the War medal, they could be replacement medals????

 

good spot on the address

thanks for your reply
