  • The 1914-15 Star the British War Medal, 1914-18
    The text is copied from http://www.greatwar.co.uk/medals/ww1-campaign-medals.htm The 1914-15 Star Established in December 1918. Also known as 'Pip'. This bronze medal was authorized in 1918. It is very similar to the 1914 Star but it was issued to a much wider range of recipients. Broadly speaking it was awarded to all who served in any theatre of war against Germany between 5th August 1914 and 31st December 1915, except those eligible for the 1914 Star. Similarly, those who received the Africa General Service Medal or the Sudan 1910 Medal were not eligible for the award. Like the 1914 Star, the 1914-15 Star was not awarded alone. The recipient had to have received the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. The reverse is plain with the recipient's service number, rank, name and unit impressed on it. An estimated 2.4 million of these medals were issued. The British War Medal, 1914-18 Established on 26th July 1919. Also known as 'Squeak'. The silver or bronze medal was awarded to officers and men of the British and Imperial Forces who either entered a theatre of war or entered service overseas between 5th August 1914 and 11th November 1918 inclusive. This was later extended to services in Russia, Siberia and some other areas in 1919 and 1920. Approximately 6.5 million British War Medals were issued. Approximately 6.4 million of these were the silver versions of this medal. Around 110,000 of a bronze version were issued mainly to Chinese, Maltese and Indian Labour Corps.

FIGURE 7 FIGURE 8 FIGURE 9 FIELD-MARSHAL’S BATON OF ALEXANDER PAPAGOS OF GREECE--ADDENDUM: By Dr. George D. Dimacopoulos I wish to congratulate Mr. Frank C. Dennis on his article on Field-Marshal Alexander Papagos of Greece (See THE MEDAL COL- LECTOR, Voi.27, No. ii (November, 1976), pp. 5-8), and to add the following information. As a Lieutenant-General, Papagos commanded an Army Corps. He was then appointed Inspector-General of the Army, and in 1936, he became Chief of the General Staff of the Army. * On 28 October 1940, he was given the command-in-chief of the Greek Army. At that time, the Greek Armed Forces (Army, Navy, and Air Force) were not under a united command. Ac- cording to the Constitution, the King was Commander-in-chief of the Armed Forces, but he did not interfere with the conduct of operations. During the German occupation of Greece, Papagos was imprisoned (26 July 1943) by the invaders, together with four other Lieu- tenant-Generals of the War of 1940-1941~ all were held as hostages in Germany. They were liberated in Marhc 1945.
