Hi Gents

Generally I suppose it's just a simple AVM.

but it was issued to a someone who deserved it and I'm 'looking after it' at the moment. So for the record....

Well done for rescuing this and the other WWI medals from obscurity/the dutbin/the melting pot.

The Jat LI went to France in 1914 with the Dehra Dun Brigade, 7th meerut Division, and on to Mespot. in 1915.  Good soldiers.  If you tire of looki ng after this one, let me know and I'd be happy to give it a home.

Nice one Peter, glad you like it.

it was in need of a good home as  were most of my ww1 'club'

Although the face looks good in the pic, the rim is quite well 'clanked', I think it was worn quite often....

((Ps Peter..

 I'll put your name on it. Just in case I shuffle on.  I'm only 47 but you never know !!))

No need for that Tony.  I only meant that if you didn't want to keep it I'd be happy to give it a home.  But thtnks for the kind thought!
