Just thought that I would start a thread on WW1 Victory medals to see what interesting ones that you have.

I have only a few.

Here are the few Victory medals I have! 12 of them are named to the Inniskilling Fusiliers, others are to Officers and other regiments etc. There is one South African one there too, I'll try and take pictures of the reverse.

One-third of my Great-Granduncles entitlements.

Enlisted to the A.S.C. most likely on the out break of war, arrived in France in

February 1915, transferred to the Inniskilling Fus. around mid 1916, managed

to get caught up in a very nasty gas attack sometime between then and the

end of the war, when he became classed as "z". Returned home minus his

younger brother who was a royal marine.



The blue ink being the result of my dad "borrowing" the trio from my grandad

and smuggling them out of the house in a pocket with a leaky pen to show

friends:rolleyes:

I'm just back from the Czech Republic where I picked up this Czech Victory medal. :-)







Phaeton, how much did you pay for the Italian Victory medal? One antique shop in Prague had two of them and he wanted 151 Euro each for them!! :-0

I think I paid around 30-40 euro. Got it locally from Dublin:).
