Hi,

 

do the British have a commemorative medal for the 1914 Falkland naval battle?

 

Thanks

Not an official one, no. The UK had originally intended to issue bars to the British War Medal for various actions but changed their minds and didn't - probably for cost reasons.

Thanks.

 

I know the 1914 Star has a bar, but it doesn´t include that battle.

Just the so-called 'Old Contemptible' bar for those who were involved from the onset... like my grandfather!
