Two unknowns, can you help, please.
1st, a medal with inscription 'FOR SERVICE AND SACRIFICE 1914-1918' and has the letters R I O in centre.
2nd, some kind of military mount, for a pouch perhaps ? looks Georgian/Victorian. Regards Nigel |

Nigel, It could also be a piece of horse furniture similar to the one fixed to the horses chest at the front.

I would take the monogram to read IRC (International Red Cross) and the inscription would seem appropriate for that organisation.

IOR
The IOR badge is the Independent Order of Rechabites - a temperance organisation. Try a google search for more info.
