SOLD British 1914-1915 Star – K.O.S.B. (Replacement) . BM541

WW1 British 1914-1915 Star Medal. Named on back to:  Pte. D. Gilruth K.O.S.B. (Replacement). So, probably a replacement medal for a lost medal, however, still appears to be older medal from WW1 era. Worn condition.   Additional Notes:  The British 1914-1915 Star is a campaign medal awarded to British and Imperial forces who served in any theatre of the First World War against the Central European Powers during 1914 and 1915. The medal is a four-pointed star of bright bronze, ensigned with a crown. The obverse has two crossed gladii (swords) with their blades upwards, the points and grips of which form what might appear to be four additional points to the star. The swords are overlaid by a wreath of oak leaves, with the Royal Cypher of King George V at the base of the wreath and an overlaying central scroll inscribed “1914–15”. The reverse is plain and is impressed with the recipient’s number, rank, and name. The ribbon has the red, white, and blue colors of the flag of the United Kingdom in shaded and watered bands.   See Additional Information for shipping dimensions.
