Hi All,

I have been looking into Medals from the First World War and it seams that Officers had to apply for their Medals. I also note that they would have been issued in 1920. Does anyone know how the Medals were awarded would they have been given at a Award Ceremony at the Barracks, at a local Church with a Memorial Service or by post?

I think the general consensus is that the photo is about 1920 in the Spring as there are leaves on the tree and the Lady is wearing a scarf. The length of the skirt also indicates 1920.
