What unit on this 14-15 star...

[Chris Boonzaier]

What do you think is on the back of this?

It often represents the ultimate possible destruction of any traces of a soldier.

A big E-Kiss to anyone who gets it right.

Very tricksy, Chris.

Show the obverse of a 1914-15 Star and ask us to guess the naming on the unrevealed reverse.

Ahhhhh . . . .

NAAFI?

Army Pay Corps?

I would say, to get a medal with the same as this has on it... many NAAFI and Army Pay Corps soldiers "are no more"...

I've wondered about these-I bought a couple of blanks from an antique dealer back in 1974. What were they-replacements?

It's been 20 years since I collected these, but my recollection is that replacements were named too and that the unnamed Stars probably represent unissued stock, eventually sold off by HMG as scrap / surplus.
