Just a quick one please.

Does any kind body know where I can download a graphic image of what Johns Medals would have been please?

I guess that would have included the dead mans penny>

Thank you folks. You are very kind.

@Chris_Baker has images of the campaign medals here, perhaps a PM to him asking to use the images?

You are welcome to use this image of a death penny (husbands great great uncle)

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.

He has a surviving service record on Ancestry: https://www.ancestry.co.uk/discoveryui-content/view/1427063:1219?tid=&pid=&queryId=4c5869f6-ce0b-4d35-b44d-549dcc8b66d1&_phsrc=qzF13715&_phstart=successSource   His 1914-15 star was claimed & received as well as the BWM & VM:

NB Mrs E Morton was his aunt (NoK).     He attested 29 August 1914, embarked 19 May 1915, KIA 30 July 1915 with 7th Bn KRRC.
