Certainly an interesting history and if you could not find another officer of the same name then he is likely to be the same man.

Hard to say if he chose a 14 star on purpose or just wanted a star medal.
A quirky medal to have. I have a renamed star medal to a man who was not entitled to a star and I assume he thought he deserved it.

I'm with Jerry on this.
I too have a Star (14-15) renamed although he was originally issued a trio. A contemporary renamed medal is in my opinion very interesting as there's probably more behind the story than we think.

Thanks for the comments guys. The medal has been very neatly renamed so I can't make out anything of the previous owner's details. I know that the value of a medal is decreased if it has been renamed but hopefully I will be able to find out more about him and his misdemeanours and increase its historical value.
