Margaret, Det posted on your other John Story thread to which i also posted info, you have not been back to that thread yet so i will repost hear just to be sure you get the information.


Acording to Detective's post ref medals he doesn't appear to have been awarded any medals for Gallantry, (That doesn't meen he wasn't a hero) Just that his efforts were not noted in the right quarters?

The qualification for his medals are below

Authorised in 1918, the 1914/15 Star was awarded to personnel who saw service in France and Flanders from 23 November 1914 to 31 December 1915, and to personnel who saw service in any other operational theatre from 5 August 1914 to 31 December 1915.

The British War Medal 1914-1920, authorised in 1919, was awarded to eligible service personnel and civilians. Qualifications for the award varied slightly according to service. The basic requirement for army personnel and civilians was that they either entered a theatre of war, or rendered approved service overseas between 5 August 1914 and 11 November 1918. Service in Russia in 1919 and 1920 also qualified for the award.

The Victory Medal 1914-1919 was also authorised in 1919 and was awarded to all eligible personnel who served on the establishment of a unit in an operational theatre
