James Gallagher and his medals
WWI campaign medals, including the Mons star
My grandfather James Gallagher was born in Liverpool in 1895. In 1914 he joined the army, just like one of his brothers. He fought in France, where he was wounded. These medals were part of the family heritage after the war ended.

Two campaign medals from the Great War || Medals belonging to James Shuttleworth. There's not much I can tell you about these, except that I've grown up with them. They are from the Great War for Civilisation. This one has 1914-1919 on it. The point being that it's not the family name, it's the step-father name: Hainsworth, with an aitch H. The stalls in Preston used to have the name Hainsworth, even on the warehouse door. One is gold, one is silver. Well, we assume it is silver. || || 53.763201,-2.7030899999999747 || Two Campaign Medals
