The medals were unclaimed

Para 1743 Kings Regulations 1912

"Medals which , at the end of 10 years, still remained unclaimed, will be sent to the India Office (If granted for India Service), or to the deputy director of ordnance stores, Royal Dockyard (Medal Branch), Woolwich (if granted for other services) to be broken up."

When you click on the image, you are take to a Postimage page which instructs you to 'Post your images here - Get permanent links for Facebook, Twitter, message boards and blogs'. How do you enlarge the image to view it?

Would it not be better to attach it as a jpeg file so that it can be enlarged?
