Default HELP WITH WW1 SOLDIER - ROYAL ENGINEERS

Hello,

I came across the attached medal in my Fathers belongings. I have been trying to find the information on this soldier who I believe was my Grandmothers (?} husband or Brother. The medal is the WW1 medal made out to 341274 Pnr J NOLAN RE On the reverse is 'THE GREAT WAR FOR CIVILISATION 1914 - 1919' The medal still has the original WW1 medal ribbon.

At 81 I have no one else to turn to.

Any help would be much appreciated.

MJ Wright

Mr. Wright,

That is an Allied Victory Medal.

However I believe you have provided the incorrect number.
Please check again.

regards
