Noor Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 Hi,Yesterday I picked up this medal from rubish market and I didn't found any information from Medal Yearbook about it. Also researching British medals on internet didn't give me the answer.... so, what it is and what kind a ribbon I have to find? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ed_Haynes Posted November 22, 2008 Share Posted November 22, 2008 A memorial medal for Queen Victoria, obviously. I'm pretty sure it came from the Army Temperance Association, but right now I have mislaid that very nice booklet done through the OMRS on these confusing temperance awards. Let me look.

Noor Posted November 22, 2008 Author Share Posted November 22, 2008 Thanks Ed, just some how I wasn't able to find anything about it . What mainly chatch my eye was... Empress of India, so I was thinking was there some bigger link with India as well with this award. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
