A split trio of just his star medal, not tried for his MIC yet or other documents so I know very little about him.

His first name was John and he later served with the labour corps as Pte 370238.

Thanks Paul.

A few better pics of the star, I changed the ribbon for a period watered silk piece that I had as it looks much better than the modern version.

It's amazing how much the period ribbon changes the entire look of the medal. It looks fantastic.

Agreed Paul, it looks so much better now. I was lucky as one of my other stars had a double length ribbon on it so it seemed OK to donate part of it to this medal.
