Wiltshire / Re: War Medal
« on: Monday 25 August 14 18:34 BST (UK) »
on the medal card we found he was in Duke of Edinburgh (Wiltshire reg) reg number 203587
below is post we have put on ancestry and find my passed
NAME INSCRIBED ON MEDAL IS ...........PRIVATE 203587 W.H STONE WILTSHIRE REGIMENT ......CAN YOU ALL PLEASE HELP .This medal was awarded to all those who entered a theatre of war. It follows that every recipient of the Victory Medal also qualified for the British War Medal, but not the other way round. For example if a soldier served in a garrison in India he would get the BWM but not the Victory Medal. In all, 300,000 fewer Victory Medals were required than British War Medals. All three armed services were eligible. It is not generally known that Victory Medals continued to be awarded after the Armistice, for the British forces who saw action in North Russia (up to October 12th, 1919) and Trans-Caspia (up to April 17th, 1919) also qualified.
The medal was struck in bronze. On the obverse is a full-length figure of Victory. On the reverse is the inscription "The Great War for Civilisation". There is no clasp, but a ting attachment through which the ribbon is passed. The official description of the colour of the ribbon is "two rainbows with red in the centre". An oak-leaf emblem was sanctioned for those who were mentioned in despatches.
5,725,000 Victory Medals were issued.
