Lucas Tooth Cadet Medal with 1917 bar
Very pleased to get this example of the medal today.
They have been discussed on here before but I am attaching some notes which came with the medal. P.B.

The Lucas Tooth Trophy is still awarded in Lincolnshire ACF to the best Detachment of the year. It may not, for obvious reasons, be awarded this year. I'm pretty sure that Derbyshire ACF also award a Lucas Tooth trophy annually too.
To the best of my knowledge, the medals are no longer awarded. PL |

I now understand that Lucas Tooth trophies are still awarded in parts of Scotland.

It seems that the following ACF Counties still compete for the Lucas-Tooth Trophy :-
Lincolnshire Derbyshire Shropshire Somerset Cleveland Cambridgeshire West Lothian West Lowland There may be others that I haven't yet found. If you didn't already know, the competition was originally founded (and funded) by the wonderfully named Sir Hugh Vere Huntly Duff Munro-Lucas- Tooth ! PL |
