A 1914 ‘Mons Star’ Trio to Lance Corporal (later Private) William John Atkins. His awards are as follows:

1914 Star With (Un Authorised) Mons Clasp named to MS-4955, LCPL W. J. ATKINS. A.S.C.

British War Medal & Victory Medal named to M1-7985. PTE. W. J. ATKINS. A.S.C.

The medals are swing mounted with their original ribbons.

FURTHER DETAILS:

It would appear that this ‘Tommy Atkins’, was a bit of a bad lad and was later demoted too Private. It also appears that he may have had his 1914 star removed, but he retained it and self-awarded a ‘Mons Bar’.
