My grandfather died 1914 of wounds probably received at Ennetierres, his medal card shows entries against Victory and British, but no entry against Star, however he was awarded a clasp.

I'm fairly sure the clasp was only on the Star, and would like someone who knows about these things, if I'm right, that he would have been awarded a 1914 star.

I intend to buy some modern replacements, and want to get it right.

It is quite likely that a 2nd MiC exists listing his Star entitlement

Hello Rory

If your grandfather died of wounds received in France prior to 22nd November 1914 he would be entitled to the 1914 Star.

Thanks Andy

p.s. would he have been known as an Old Contemptable, or was that only for survivors?
