SHIPPING OFFERED
Australians served in World War I in all theatres of operation until the Armistice in 1918. Australian personnel were awarded Imperial campaign medals and Australians received the Victory Medal issued to British personnel.
The pair of medals are:
• BRITISH WAR MEDAL 1914 – 1920
Instituted by King George V in 1919 to mark the end of World War I and record the service given. The British War Medal 1914-20 was awarded as follows:
Navy: 28 days mobilised service in Australia, at sea or overseas during prescribed periods.
Army: Entered theatres of war during specified periods or left places of residence and rendered approved service overseas.
Mercantile Marine: Awarded to the men and women of the Mercantile Marine who served at least six months at sea between 4th August 1914 and 11th November 1918. Licensed Pilots, Fishermen and crews of Pilotage and Lighthouse Authorities' Vessels, and of Post Office Cable Ships were also eligible.
Those eligible also included members of women's organisations; persons on the staffs of military hospitals and members of recognised organisations who handled sick and wounded; and members of other duly recognised or other authorised organisations.
The qualification period of service between 5 August 1914 and 11 November 1918 was later extended to cover post-war mine clearance and service in Russia during 1919 and 1920.
The medal is cupro-nickel with the effigy of George V on the obverse.
The reverse has an image of St George on horseback trampling underfoot the eagle shield of the Central Powers, and a skull and cross-bones, the emblems of death. Above this is the risen sun of victory. The years 1914 and 1918 are contained on the outside edge medal.
The ribbon has a wide central watered stripe of orange, flanked by two narrow white stripes, which are in turn flanked by two black pin-stripes, further flanked by two outer stripes of blue. The colours have no particular significance.
• VICTORY MEDAL
The Victory Medal was authorised in 1919 to commemorate the victory of the Allied Forces over the Central Powers. Australians were awarded the medal issued by Great Britain.
The Victory Medal was awarded to prescribed classes of persons who entered a theatre of war on duty between 5 August 1914 and 11 November 1918.
The medal is bronze with a winged figure of Victory on the obverse. The reverse has the words ‘THE GREAT WAR FOR CIVILISATION’ surrounded by a laurel wreath.
The ribbon has a ‘two rainbow’ design, with the violet from each rainbow on the outside edges moving through to a central red stripe where both rainbows meet.
Offered here are:
These quality court-mounted full-size WW1 medals, the BRITISH WAR MEDAL 1914 – 1920 and VICTORY MEDAL are in new unused condition and are the medals preferred by eligible personnel for wear during appropriate occasions like ANZAC Day and Remembrance Day in order to preserve and keep safe the original issued medals.
