archangel1919 Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 This soldier was highly decorated during WW1 with the Distinguished Conduct Medal (awarded 1915), Military Medal (awarded 1917) and was also awarded a Civil Member of the Order of the British Empire in 1952. His Russian Cross of St. George 4th Class was published in the London Gazette of 25th August 1915.
JapanX Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Impressive "chest"! What is the number on St.George cross? (looks like it was wrongly hanged). Can you post close-ups? Cheers, Nick
Chris Boonzaier Posted May 11, 2013 Posted May 11, 2013 Nothing niced than a DCM/MM bar.... no favours in the mess will get you that! How much did the St George influence the price of that bar?
archangel1919 Posted May 11, 2013 Author Posted May 11, 2013 (edited) Number on the Cross is 127 282 within the correct range for awards in London Gazette 25th August 1915. his group was sold outside of the collectors sphere at a regional auction in the UK, I was lucky to get it for less than if it had sold within the collectors realm. The medals came from an estate with many other items relating to the family. I'm sorry I dont have a close up of the Cross, the medals are kept in a bank vault with the rest of my collection.
