Hello all

I recently acquired a 1914-15 Star, a British War Medal and a Class A War services Badge.

The Medals are both named for the same soldier and through checking the records I was able to confirm the War Services Badge are his.

I have a question regarding the lack of a Victory Medal. It has been my understanding that if one received the 1914-15 star they were also to receive the Victory medal. The soldier in question discharged from the CEF in 1918, died in 1924 and his widow was sent a dispatch along with his medals in 1929.

By reading the documents in the attachments did he only ever recieve the 1914-15 star and BWM? If so then I can stop looking for his Victory medal. I suppose the question revolves around if "P and S" refers to "Pip and Squeak"

Thanks for all the help
