    It’s one of the medals that all who went to war received here in U.K.
    I would like to find out who D Cameron was please if anyone can help. Seems there’s a way of finding out but it costs to join up.
    DVR means he was a driver, so handled the horses. His number was 1-33352.
    ASC tagged on the end. Thanks for any info.

    ASC is Army Service Corps

    It is known as BWM, British War Medal

    It is Sterling Silver.

    If you are on Face Book there is a group ( British Medal Research)
    I think some members have paid access to the archives and help people out.

    Thanks Davey. Thought I’d take a punt at £20 for that, the ribbons and the Russian 1790 5 kopecks coin on the Finds page.

    And known as Squeak and Mutt :D

    "Nicknames
    The issue of First World War Service Medals in the 1920’s coincided with a comic strip in the Daily Mirror newspaper.

    The popular cartoons featured Pip the dog, Squeak the penguin and Wilfred the rabbit.

    Soon the three main campaign medals (the 1914 or 1914-15 Star, the British War Medal and the Victory Medal) were nicknamed 'Pip, Squeak and Wilfred'.

    When only the British War and Victory Medals were worn together they became 'Mutt and Jeff' after another pair of cartoon characters."
