Description |
English: A silver 'British War Medal' dating c. 1918-1920, awarded to Private Harry Thomas Hogg of the Queen's (Royal West Surrey) Regiment. It is circular in plan, the obverse depicting the bust of George V facing left, accompanied by the legend: GEORGIVS V BRITT: OMN REX ET IND: IMP:. Above the bust is a small circular perforation that originally would have accomodated the clasp and its co-incident silver rivet (now missing). The reverse face of the medal depicts a naked horseman riding right, holding a shortsword- the horse itself trampling a skull and cross-bones alongside a Prussian shield, which symbolises both victory over death and the Central Powers. To the right of the rider's head, the sun of victory rises. Above the horse's hindquarters and in front of its forelegs are the dates '1914' and '1918' respectively, visible curving around the rim. On the edge of the medal is an engraved inscription detailing the service number, name and rank of the recipient: 53589 PTE .H.T. HOGG. THE QUEEN'S R. The British War Medal was awarded to all British Army soldiers who had been deployed overseas in a theatre of war between 1914 and 1918, for a period of greater than 28 days. Over 6.5 million examples in silver were manufactured.
Preserved in fair condition with some surface wear, the medal measures 36.35mm in diameter, 3.48mm thick, and weighs 29.35g. |
