Important Eligibility Information
The 1914 Star and 1914–15 Star were alternative awards and must not be selected together.
The 5th Aug–22nd Nov 1914 clasp can only be added to the 1914 Star and was awarded to qualifying personnel who served under fire in France or Belgium during the specified period.
Recipients of the Territorial Force War Medal could not also receive the 1914 Star or 1914–15 Star.
All British recipients of the Victory Medal also qualified for the British War Medal. The Mercantile Marine War Medal was likewise awarded to personnel who had qualified for the British War Medal and completed the necessary service through a danger zone.
If you are uncertain about a relative’s entitlement, please consult our WW1 Medal Eligibility Guide or contact our team before ordering.
