Further reading The 1914 Star was authorised in April 1917 and was awarded to those who served in France or Belgium on the strength of a unit, or who served in either of those two countries between 5 August 1914 and midnight on 22/23 November 1914. A recipient of the 1914 Star could not also be awarded the 1914–1915 Star. A very small number of Australians received the 1914 Star—most received the 1914–1915 Star. Design The 1914 Star is a bright bronze medal in the form of a four-pointed star, measuring 44 mm between opposite points, ensigned atop with a crown to which is attached a suspension eyelet. The obverse has crossed gladius, overlaid with an oak wreath that is ensigned with the cypher of King George V. Interlaced in the crossed blades of the gladius is an ‘S’ shaped scroll bearing the words ‘AUG’, ‘1914’, ‘NOV’ vertically aligned in that order, with ‘AUG’ positioned between the top half of the crossed blades, ‘1914’ in the centre and ‘NOV’ between the bottom half of the blades. Ribbon The 1914 Star ribbon has a central stripe of white, flanked by two stripes, one blue and one red, all shaded and watered. When the ribbon is worn alone, recipients of the clasp to the medal wear a small silver rose on the ribbon bar. Clasps A bronze clasp inscribed ‘5th Aug–22nd Nov 1914’ was issued to those ‘who actually served under the fire of the enemy in France and Belgium’ between those dates. Order of Wear Is below the King’s South Africa Medal. And above the 1914-15 Star. Further information can be found at Defence Honours and Awards GOV.UK Information sourced from the DHAM. |
