Featured WW1 medal.

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.

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.

 

Nice find!

"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."

 

Wow, thanks for tracking him down Marote. That seems a good old Scottish name. I’m thinking you have a very special set of skills! I was unable to access that page when I tried yesterday.
Strange the WW1 medal came in a box with WW2 ribbons and a random Russian coin.

 

Googled "British War Medal" "Names", and one of the top results was https://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk...des/british-army-medal-index-cards-1914-1920/
Entered "Cameron" and "33352" in the search form on that page, and hey presto

 

I don’t know what I did wrong, there was a notice at the top of their page saying they were updating the service and had tech difficulties so I assumed that’s why I was unsuccessful.
