Front || 1914 Star service medal earned by Buchanan and sent to his next of kin after the war. The 1914 Star was only issued to those who served in the first year of the war. Service medals were usually delivered in the post, unlike gallantry awards recognising acts of bravery which were sometimes awarded formally in person. Most service medals were received after the war. As Buchanan did not survive the war, his medals were sent to his next of kin.
