Those who had fought in the British Armed Forces were already entitled to the British War Medal, of course, and if they had served since early on, the 1914 or 1914-15 Stars. The Victory Medal thus became an additional award in Britain, but for many other countries it was the sole badge of participation in the War. This medal was awarded to Captain T. M. Monk, and is part of what the catalogue of the Watson Collection considers Group 6. Its provenance is therefore considered with the others of that group.
