4thGordons Posted 10 June , 2020 Share Posted 10 June , 2020 Detail from a group shot of some Gordons (TF) - can the medal ribbons (far left cpl, centre sgt and right cpl) shown be identified please? I am hoping if I can identify the medals then I may be able to identify the individuals. TIA Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mancpal Posted 10 June , 2020 Share Posted 10 June , 2020 As nobody else has yet replied I thought I'd offer my wild stab in the dark. L/Cpl on left QSA and KSA (or poss star ribbon?) Sgt in middle no idea but the medal bar looks wider than the two ribbons causing stripe on either end L/Cpl on right QSA and KSA. I await my shooting down.

RNCVR Posted 10 June , 2020 Share Posted 10 June , 2020 Think Simon has the LCpl on right correct, appears to be QSA, KSA. The LCpl on left, his 1st ribbon appears to be QSA, 2nd might be KSA, hard to be certain tho. Serg't centre, I cannot say, any chance of a blowup (not too big) pls Thanks, Bryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mancpal Posted 10 June , 2020 Share Posted 10 June , 2020 (edited) The L/Cpl on the rights second medal looks to have a 3 coloured ribbon in distinct stripes as opposed to the more 'merged ' stripes of a star hence I think KSA.

RNCVR Posted 10 June , 2020 Share Posted 10 June , 2020 It does not appear to be a 1914-15 star Simon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNCVR Posted 10 June , 2020 Share Posted 10 June , 2020 I have no idea what ribbon(s) the Serg't is wearing tho, at first I thought 2nd ribbon Army LS buts its way to wide for that ribbon. There has to be at least two ribbons he is wearing. My next thought was Edward VII Coronation but that is just a guess. In what I think is that time frame it would be worn first. Might help if we knew the approx time frame of the photo. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mancpal Posted 10 June , 2020 Share Posted 10 June , 2020 RNCVR. I think I've mixed up my lefts and rights. Either way it's not a star. I still think that the Sgts ribbons look as if they have a bit of medal ribbon bar visible at either end rather than the light stripes being part of the ribbon, Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RNCVR Posted 11 June , 2020 Share Posted 11 June , 2020 Yes, that could well be Simon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4thGordons Posted 11 June , 2020 Author Share Posted 11 June , 2020 I didn't mention the time frame of the pic because I didn't want to influence answers (although the fact that several of them are wearing Simplified SD jackets might be a clue) I am fairly certain this is from 1914/early 15. Probably the former. Here is the entire image and here are some close ups of the ribbons Left (as we look) to right.
