The white dots are because of the limited picture quality.

Hello,

I am a new member. I am honoured to be in this group.

Please see attached medal. Is this a privately made medal made for a doctor or a teacher during the Gallipoli war.

Please also check my TWM album and comment on the pictures their made etc.

I think the real Gallipoli medals are the painted ones. Rest is German made for those who deserved and paid for it.

There is no difference between officer or private medals. They are all same, the painted ones. The then Ottoman

Government was only be able to finance the war. How would they supply the fighters with enamel or silver medals.

Best wishes
