1914-1915 Star awarded to J. Gregson
This medal was awarded to those who saw service in any theatre of war between 5 August 1914 and 31 December 1915, other than those who had already qualified for the 1914 Star. An estimated 2.5 million were awarded, making it the most common British campaign medal up to that time.
