My dad picked me this one up in india British War Medal 1914-1919 The medal was commemerated durring ww I for English soldiers, and later extended to include service in North and South Russia, Eastern Baltic, Siberia, the Black Sea and the Caspian. 36 mm diameter- Silver What do you guys think? Also, there is info written on the edge of the medal, I know it somehow means the recipeiants name, unit number ect. But could anyone tell me exactly what all these words and numbers mean Written on the edge: 952 NK. Partapsing Gurung, 2-10
It is in lovely condition, does it still have its ribbon? 952 = Army number NK = Naik/ Corporal Partapsing Gurung = Persons Name 2-10 = Regiment or Unit I believe the recipiant was in either a Indian or Gurkha Regiment, the name Gurung sugests central Nepal I hope that was a help
