$99.99

This WWI British silver war medal 1914-1918 featuring King George IV is a unique collectible item from the United Kingdom. The medal comes with three additional medals, the British War Medal (1914-1920), the Allied Victory Medal (1914-1919) and the 1914-1915 Star adding to its historical significance and value. His service number, rank, name and unit are inscribed on the rim of the medal.
The British Service Medal - This silver medal was awarded to officers and men of the British and Imperial Forces who either entered a theatre of war (an area of active fighting) or served overseas (perhaps as a garrison soldier) between 5 August 1914 and 11 November 1918 inclusive.
The 1914-1915 Starwas issued to a much wider range of recipients. These included all who served in any theatre of war outside the UK between 5 August 1914 and 31 December 1915, except those eligible for the 1914 Star.
The Allied Victory Medalrepresent the combined colours of the Allied nations, with the rainbow additionally representing the calm after the storm. The ribbon consists of a double rainbow with red at the centre.

The British version depicts the winged figure of Victory on the front of the medal and on the back, it says \'The Great War for Civilisation 1914-1919’.

To qualify, an individual had to have entered a theatre of war (an area of active fighting), not just served overseas.

These medals were awarded to Private James Maxwell Nelson who was enlisted before the war started but was killed in action at The Battle of Thiepval in September of 1916. His awards were given to his sister as she was designated the recipient of his worldly possessions in his will.
As an original period item, this piece of militaria from the era of World War I offers a tangible connection to the sacrifices and triumphs of the British soldiers during this significant time period.
