welshdoc Posted 15 August , 2006 Share Posted 15 August , 2006 Looks like he was awarded the territorial force war medal (rather than the 1914 star) war and victory medals and that the victory medal was replaced in the 1950s. Im on a rubbish PC at present so I cant make out the details. gareth Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder why his medal was replaced. I'll have to ask questions within the family. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
