PhilB Posted 14 April , 2023 Share Posted 14 April , 2023 This photo from the York Army Museum site is entitled Windy the Dog. His handler (West Yorkshire Regt?) seems to have a lot of service for one medal. Any comments? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
depaor01 Posted 14 April , 2023 Share Posted 14 April , 2023 Only one comment, and not at all helpful Phil, but that's a lovely photo. Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gunner 87 Posted 14 April , 2023 Share Posted 14 April , 2023 (edited) As the regimental mascot 'handler' I wonder if the soldier was stationed at the Depot, which I believe was York Barracks, and not deployed with the regular battalions. If he had spent his entire service in this role and as such, never sent overseas, then he will not have qualified for any medals other than the Long Service Good Conduct Medal.

mancpal Posted 14 April , 2023 Share Posted 14 April , 2023 I think it is LSGC. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
charlie2 Posted 15 April , 2023 Share Posted 15 April , 2023 If it is the Army LSGC Medal it dates the photo to post 1916 when the white stripes were added to the ribbon to distinguish it from the VC ribbon. Charlie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
