chaz Posted 2 February Share Posted 2 February (edited) If he had a trio and plaque this would be the type. the only difference being, if he was an early enlister the 1914/15 star pictured would be 1914 star different wreath on front, if he only had the BWM and victory pair then the middle and right hand pair. Just checked, service record does say 14/15 star trio so as the picture. Edited 2 February by chaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ivor Anderson Posted 3 February Share Posted 3 February (edited) If you search online images for 'WW1 trio' there is plenty of choice, e.g. https://www.cultmancollectables.com/image/cache/catalog/20210416-IMG_1045-1500x1500.jpg Edited 3 February by Ivor Anderson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
