UK BRITISH MEDAL WW1 VICTORY GREAT WAR 1919 W/ RIBBON AWARDED TO STOKES.WWI Victory Campaign Medal (United Kingdom)
The Victory Medal (also called the Inter-Allied Victory Medal) is a United Kingdom and British Empire First World War campaign medal.
Stamped on the third side (edge):
27982 pte f. a. stokes l. n. lan. r.
l. n. lan. r. is abbreviated for "Loyal North Lancashire Regiment".
The award of a common allied campaign medal was recommended by an inter-allied committee in March 1919. Each allied nation would design a 'Victory Medal' for award to their own nationals, all issues having certain common features, including a winged figure of victory on the obverse and the same ribbon. Fourteen countries finally awarded the medal.
