    Germany WW1 Black Wound Badge

    Written by anguspm

    The German wound badges were awarded in both the first and second World wars and principally in three grades – Black (Wounded once), Silver (3 wounds) and Gold (5 times wounded) – however in the event of the soldiers death any one of the grades could be awarded.

    Shown here is a frequently encountered Stamped steel WW1 version.

    UK WW1 PAIR of BWM and VIC to B GREY FMN MFA

    Written by BattlefieldBob

    An interesting pair of british great war medals earned by B GREY FMN MFA, A “Fireman” in the Mercantile fleet auxiliary. This is a civilian who was in effect a “stoker” (he who shovels coal or clinker to keep the boilers going on old steam powered ships) but at the time was called a fireman, very different to todays fireman profession. Note the fact that there is no military serial number assigned to this gentleman.
