Remembered Today:

officers medals

Recommended Posts

Should a officers medals have his regiment on. I believe in an earlier post it was said that an officer did not have a regiment number that was used as that of a private. But would he have a regiment number on his medals.

Sorry if this has been covered I have tried search but cannot find it

Regards

For a brief answer....no (on the BWM and Vict. anyway!)

Rank followed by name only (in the Army). RAF, and I think RFC officer's medals had these initials following their name (unless they were only on attachment). Australian officers had "AIF" following their rank and name. I'm unsure about other colonials and the Navy.

Hope this is of some help.

Thanks to you both, that does help I have seen a pair for sale and it only gives his rank and name. Just wondered if they where inscribed correctly.

Kind regards

Steve
