ErwinRommel1940 Posted March 21 Share #6 Posted March 21 Awesome medal, A.I.F. medals are hard enough to find, especially those KIA in the Gallipoli Campaign. I have two Victory Medals to A.I.F. soldiers killed in France. Link to post Share on other sites

I may have a photo, I’ve got a publication from 1916 with a photo of most of the killed and wounded from the NZEF at Gallipoli, it doesn’t go into those evacuated sick. here’s a shot of my Great Uncles pay book showing he was paid at Walkers Ridge which was the Mounted Brigades H.Q. at the time Link to post Share on other sites
