Territorial medal

[Stinkpotpete]

I found this Terrier medal, the seller thought it was ww 2, but it's named. I was thinking the King looked younger, so maybe after ww 1? It's named to R. Webb RA, did they misspell his rank as SJT?

Serjeant is an spelling of sergeant which was still used in the early 20th century, maybe they didn't miss spell it!..

ahh, ok thanks Gunny. I'd never seen it spelled that way before.

Instituted Oct 17th 1930 for 12 years service (war conditions counted as double as did serving in west africa for some reason) with George 6th in coronation robes so awarded any time from then up until 1952 when Liz took over. I believe the period means there are restrictions on access to the service record of the individual, memory serves me has to be prior to 1921.

Sjt. is the correct spelling on British medals, I have some from WWI with this spelling (a few shown below) and my fathers Territorial medal the same as this one from after WWII also has the same Sjt. spelling for him.

You will find names on Long Service/Long Service And
Good Conduct medals. It is the British and Canadian
war service and campaign medals or stars of
WWII that are not marked.........


I have one - '2089068 GNR F. Gooch R.A.'

Maybe the guys over on the British Medals Forum can figure something out from the service number?

They are a nice looking medal, I have a GVR one to a Royal Engineer.

Oz.

Thanks Jerry and Steve. I was assuming it would have been SGT like on this side of the pond. This is my first medal for an NCO. I had thought all medals were handled the same, no naming. I need to find some more books I see.

It is a nice looking medal Oz, it's definitely got class.
