1914-15 Star Miniature Medal

The 1914-15 Star Campaign Replica Medal of the British Empire, for service in World War I.  Also known as 'Pip' this bronze medal was authorized in 1918. It is very similar to the 1914 Star but it was issued to a much wider range of recipients. Broadly speaking it was awarded to all who served in any theatre of war against Germany between 5th August 1914 and 31st December 1915, except those eligible for the 1914 Star. Like the 1914 Star, the 1914-15 Star was not awarded alone. The recipient had to have received the British War Medal and the Victory Medal.

The medal itself is a bronze crowned four pointed star with crossed swords and a wreath of oak leaves. There is a small royal cypher of King George V on the bottom of the weath, and a scroll in the centre of the medal with the dates 1914 - 15. The ribbon is striped red, white and blue with the colours blending into each other and is 31mm wide.

AWARD miniature medals complement the full-size official medals and are normally worn for formal dinner dress occasions.

All official medals are sent loose on the ribbon unless medal mounting is also purchased on the same order.
