Title

Allied Victory Medal, 1914-1918

Description

It was decided that each of the allies in World War I should each issue their own bronze victory medal with a similar design, similar equivalent wording and identical ribbon.
The British medal was designed by W. McMillan. The front depicts a winged classical figure representing victory.
Approximately 5.7 million victory medals were issued. Interestingly, eligibility for this medal was more restrictive and not everyone who received the British War Medal also received the Victory Medal.
The recipient's service number, rank, name and unit was impressed on the rim. Cpl. Roy Gray's information is engraved on the rim.
