  • Military Commendations and Medals

    Military Commendations and Medals

    Ⓛ Military commendations and medals Recognition for military service, and acts of heroism and bravery which were considered to be exceptional, came in a variety of forms and only outline details are given here. Campaign medals Just five campaign medals were produced for individuals who saw service in WW1 although any individual could be issued with a maximum of three 61. These medals were issued to recognise service, not acts of gallantry. Additionally, the Silver War Badge recognised the contribution of those who had been honourably discharged or had retired as a result of sickness or wounds from war service. Although Service medals were issued automatically to other ranks, officers (or their next of kin) had to apply for these. Medals were impressed with the name of the recipient, and some other details, on the rim of the medal or, in the case of a star, on the reverse. ◆ The 1914 Star (Mons Star) This is a four-pointed bronze star-shaped medal, with a crown below the ribbon-attachment ring. The star form encloses two upward-pointing swords overlain by a wreath of oak leaves, with the Royal Cypher of George V at the base of the wreath and a central S-shaped scroll inscribed "AUG 1914 NOV". The medal has a height of 50 millimetres (62 millimetres with the ring suspension included) and a width of 44 millimetres. The silk ribbon is 32 millimetres wide and has the red, white and blue colours of the Union Flag in shaded and watered bands The Star was authorized by King George V in April 1917 for http://www.rutlandremembers.
