These gold medals were awarded as the result of a bounty of ?500 offered by Sir Charles Wakefield to the first gun crew to shoot down a Zeppelin on domestic soil. Due to the fact that a number of gun crews were involved in shooting down the L15, it was decided that the money would instead be spent on the production of gold medals to present to each individual member of the crews involved. The Zeppelin L15 was severely damaged by anti-aircraft fire over London on the night of 31 March - 1 April, 1916. The Zeppelin plunged into the sea a mile from the Kentish Knock Lightship shortly after midnight. The 17 survivors were taken aboard H.M.S. Vulture, but not before being stripped naked by order of the ship?s Captain.","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46108594798869,"sku":"GB0122","price":1800.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/bsc12001.jpg?v=1692837675"},{"product_id":"a-rare-wwi-gold-presentation-medal-for-aid-during-zeppelin-raids-gb3839","title":"A Rare Wwi Gold Presentation Medal For Aid During Zeppelin Raids","description":"A Rare WWI Gold Presentation Medal for Aid During Zeppelin Raids - In GOLD and enamels, marked 9 carat, hallmarked, maker marked in Birmingham in 1919, inscribed on the reverse \"AWARDED TO\" and \"FOR AID RAID SERVICES\" with the name \"MISS BETTY RANDALL\" engraved in between, 35.2 mm x 37.8 mm, double loop suspension, crimson ribbon, gold top pin brooch, near extremely fine.

The Royal Patriotic Fund was already providing for needy families of soldiers and non-commissioned officers. The Royal Naval Female School, founded in 1840, provided assistance for the daughters of naval officers. It formed the model on which the new school was based. Other schools existed for officers' sons. The Royal School was privately funded, relying on a mixture of subscriptions, legacies and other gifts, and fees. Subscribers were eligible to vote on which girls would receive admission at reduced fees (initially twelve pounds). Greater contributors received more votes. The school's building was originally intended to be a boys' day school. This school failed and the building, in Lansdown on the outskirts of Bath, was purchased in September 1863. A London office was maintained, initially on Cockspur Street, until a bursar was appointed at Bath after the Second World War. In 1870, a junior school was opened in Clarence House at Roehampton, for girls aged ten to fourteen. However, this branch of the school struggled to achieve the standards of the parent institution. In 1885, the junior school closed and the girls transferred to Bath. In September 1939, after war was declared, the school moved to Longleat and the Admiralty's Hydrographic Department took over the Lansdown premises. Significant improvisation and some construction were required to make the situation workable. Lack of space, and difficulty in retaining domestic and teaching staff, were among many problems. However, the school remained at Longleat until the end of summer term in 1947. During this time, the system of voting for foundationers was suspended, never to be reinstated. This period also saw the deaths of their host Lord Bath, a president, The Duke of Connaught, and two chairmen.

He signed his first Attestation Paper as a Private (277) with No. 2 McGill University Company in Belleville, on June 24, 1915, at the age of 24 and his signed his Attestation Paper as a Private (474496) with the 4th Overseas Universities Company CEF in Belleville, on October 16, 1915, at the age of 25, naming his next-of-kin as his father, Stephen Burrows of Belleville, stating that he had previous service as a Lieutenant with the 15th Regiment Argyll Light Infantry, that he was not married and that his trade was that of Clerk. Private Burrows arrived in England aboard the S.S. Lapland on December 7, 1915 and was taken on strength at Shorncliffe the following day where he was transferred to the 11th Reserve Battalion. After three and half months training, he was transferred as a reinforcement to the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry and proceeded overseas to the French theatre on March 24, 1916. He was taken on strength at the Canadian Base Depot in France on the 26th, leaving for his new unit in the field on April 6th and joining them on the 7th. Two months after joining the Princess Patricia's Canadian Light Infantry (Eastern Ontario Regiment), Private Clifford Robert Burrows (475496) was Killed in Action between June 2nd and 4th, 1916, the modern records acknowledging his death date as June 2nd, at the age of 25, at Sanctuary Wood, as part of the Battle for Mount Sorrel. The 1916 British Front Line south-east of Ypres was situated on this high ground of the Ypres ridge at Zillebeke known to the British Army as Mount Sorrel and the double summits of Hill 61 and Hill 62 (called Tor Top). Three divisions of the Canadian Corps were involved in the defence of the line here when the German Army made an attack on June 2, 1916. Having lost the high ground on the first day of the attack, the Canadians put up a determined fight to recapture the ground, which they did for the most part after 13 days of fighting. Casualties on both sides were heavy. The Canadians suffered just under 8,500 casualties, with 1,000 men killed and another 1,900 declared missing. Many Canadians killed in this battle are buried in the nearby cemeteries of Hooge Crater Cemetery and Maple Copse Cemetery. Those who are missing in action and whose discovered remains cannot be identified are commemorated on the Menin Gate Memorial to the Missing in Ypres. Burrows is remembered with honour on the Menin Gate (Ypres) Memorial, Ypres, Belgium, Grave Reference: Panel 10 and is commemorated on page 62 of the First World War Book of Remembrance. He was eligible for the British War Medal and the Victory Medal, but not the 1914-15 Star.

Clarke (who was in the Liverpool Scottish and was reported missing in 1917 but subsequently, on January 25, 1918 was reported wounded with a bullet through the thigh, and a PoW in Germany), Sergeant Joseph Clarke (Military Medal recipient, who was convalescing in the County Antrim Infirmary at the time of his brother’s death and was wounded again in August 1917, being shot through the mouth, losing a number of teeth) and Quartermaster George Clarke (who served with the 11th Battalion, Royal Irish Rifles and had embarked from Borden Camp with them in October 1915), along with a sister, Mabel Clarke (who worked in Hilden Hospital as a Voluntary Aid Detachment volunteer). Robert Clarke signed his Attestation Paper as a Private (623181) with the 61st Infantry Battalion \"Winnipeg Battalion\" on September 8, 1915 at Winnipeg, Manitoba, at the age of 32, naming his next-of-kin as his mother, Elizabeth Clarke, stating that he had no previous military service, that he was married and that his trade was that of Clerk. It was noted in his medical examination that he had a hernia and would be accepted into the army after an operation to correct it, which may explain why he was initially given the service number 461161. The 44th Infantry Battalion was raised in Winnipeg, Manitoba under the authority of G.O. 86, July 1, 1915. Mobilization headquarters was also in Winnipeg. The Battalion sailed on October 23, 1915 from Halifax, Nova Scotia, aboard the S.S. Lapland, with a strength of 36 officers and 1,076 other ranks under the command of Lieutenant-Colonel E.R. Wayland, arriving in England on the 30th. A little over three months later, Clarkewas transferred to the 11th Reserve Battalion at Shorncliffe on February 3, 1916 and was taken on strength the next day. Private Clarke was transferred to the 27th Infantry Battalion \"City of Winnipeg Regiment\", Canadian Infantry (Manitoba Regiment) for service in the French theatre, on April 23, 1916, arriving at the base depot in France the next day. He arrived with his new unit in the field on May 15th. Four months later, during the Battle of Flers-Courcelette, Private Robert Clarke, 27th Infantry Battalion was initially reported \"missing\" on September 15, 1916, then \"for official purposes, presumed to have died\" and subsequently was declared \"Killed in Action\", at the age of 33. He is remembered with honour on the Vimy Memorial, in Pas de Calais, France and is commemorated on Page 67 of the First World War Book of Remembrance.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46119518535957,"sku":"GB6171","price":190.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/d_3188_1.jpg?v=1692865881"},{"product_id":"a-1918-military-medal-to-the-2nd-field-ambulance-royal-army-medical-corps-gb6307","title":"A 1918 Military Medal To The 2Nd Field Ambulance Royal Army Medical Corps","description":"\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cspan\u003eGeorge V (2368 Pte L.

While the Lusitania was sunk on May 7th, Goetz inscribed May 5th in error, which was interpreted by many Britons and Americans that the sinking was premeditated. The British, seeking to exploit American outrage over the event in order to draw the United States into the war, falsely claimed that not only was this the case, but that this medal was awarded to the U-Boat crew responsible for the sinking and began manufacturing forgeries to stoke anger. British copies of the medal, such as this one, are easily identifiable by their lack of umlauts in proper places, as well as the English spelling of “MAY”, as opposed to the German “MAI”.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46124999541013,"sku":"EU15667","price":95.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/c18-035607.jpg?v=1757968291"},{"product_id":"united-kingdom-a-medal-for-zeal-ii-class-silver-grade-to-seaman-r-bassett-hms-jupiter-rnr-gb6665","title":"United Kingdom.

St. A. Wake, was sent to keep open the route to Arkhangelsk, which was so important for the supply of munitions to Russia. She sailed within a few hours of the receipt of the orders, without any arrangements having been made for heating, or for any special supplies of clothing, etc. After herculean efforts to force a way through the ice, she eventually proceed to Alexandrovsk, on the west shore of the White Sea, which was ice free and where there was a cable to Peterhead in Scotland. Shortly afterwards, the S.S. Thracia, with aeroplanes and motor cars aboard destined for Arkhangelsk, became lodged in the ice. The HMS Jupiter went in search of S.S. Thracia, ramming her way through the ice. The S.S. Thracia was found and then taken in tow, but in spite of the tow breaking continually and very considerable hardship from the cold, the HMS Jupiter succeeded in towing her to Arkhangelsk. With the aid of a Russian ice pilot, they returned to Alexandrovsk, where for many days the crew were employed in burying the cable to Scotland in the frozen and rocky ground. The ship was able to return in May but was badly damaged. Tsar Nicholas II authorized the striking and issue of medals commemorating the feat to all officers, petty officers and seamen of HMS Jupiter, on November 13, 1915. The Medal for Zeal was first instituted in December 1801 during the reign of Tsar Alexander I. After the death of Tsar Alexander III, the medal was re-designed and issued around 1894 bearing the profile of the new sovereign, Tsar Nicolas II. It was awarded to civilians that had showed exceptional zeal in the trade, production and social fields, as well as to military personnel for zealous service; in two grades: Gold and Silver.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46125042827541,"sku":"GB6665","price":475.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/c18-038096.jpg?v=1692880838"},{"product_id":"great-britain-a-first-war-dsoobemcmid-ribbon-bar-gb6668","title":"Great Britain.

An agreement to the merger was concluded on October 24, 1914. The St Andrew's Ambulance Association in Scotland also joined the organisation. Fundraising activities and resources were pooled and everyone worked together under the protective emblem of the Red Cross. The JWO became the main contact with the Royal Army Medical Corps (RAMC) as regards patient services when casualties swamped the Army medical capability. The JWO organised volunteers alongside technical and professional staff. It also supplied the machinery and mechanisms to provide services in Britain and in the conflict areas of Europe, the Middle East, Russia and East Africa. In the United Kingdom, each region created their local JWO with a chairman and committee, the organisation ceasing operations when the war ended in 1919. The organisation was re-formed upon the British entry into the Second World War in 1939 and was active until its permanent disbanding in 1947. The Joint War Committee (JWC), a non-government administrative body, controlled the JWO and the Joint War Finance Committee managed its finances and concentrated on raising donations and funding.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"eMedals","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":48037914607893,"sku":"GB8050","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0713\/9105\/2053\/files\/MNC6638_36da72bf-fcaa-4bfa-ac26-394d9cab55f8.jpg?v=1750182016"},{"product_id":"united-kingdom-a-george-v-military-cross-with-case-m0400-35","title":"United Kingdom.
