A WW1 Military Medal group with citation!

7455 Pte J. Walker, 4 SAI

This a very recent addition to my collection.

In my collection, and in my collecting experience, finding the citation with a military medal has been the exception and not the rule.

Nice group; a lot more history is most certainly behind this man's story. Thanks for sharing.

Hi,

silly question, but that is unusual.... how do the BWM and VM have different ranks? I thought those two were always exactly the same? I cannot remember ever having seen different ranks on them.

You know, this crossed my mind for a second as well; but I passed it off as my being not fully informed. Looking forward to expert answers.
