The 1914 Star, colloquially known as the Mons Star, is a British First World War campaign medal for service in France or Belgium between 5 August and 22 November 1914. The 1914 Star was authorised under Special Army Order no. 350 in November 1917 and by an Admiralty Fleet Order in January 1918, for award to officers and men of the British and Indian Expeditionary Forces who served in France or Belgium between 5 August and midnight of 22-23 November 1914. The former date is the day after Britain's declaration of war against the Central Powers, and the closing date marks the end of the First Battle of Ypres. Altogether 378,000 1914 Stars were awarded. In this book the author tells the dramatic story of the inception of this decoration in terms of the drama which was played out from the prologue leading up to the despatch of the British Expeditionary Force in August 1914 until the fall of the curtain in November of that year after the first battle of Ypres by which time 'the best-trained, best organised and best equipped British Army that ever went forth to war' had virtually been destroyed. In a vivid, exciting, often humorous, sometimes controversial narrative. Ref III 2. N° de réf. du vendeur 034408

Hardcover. Etat : Very Good. Etat de la jaquette : Very Good. 1st Edition. The first campaign medaL of the Great War - the 1914 Star - was struck in 1917. In October 1919, by command of the King, a bar bearing the dates ' 5th Aug,-22nd Nov. 1914' was awarded to all holders of the medal who had been under fire - i.e., ' within range of enemy mobile artillery' - in France and Flanders between the qualifying dates. Fewer than 230,000 bars were awarded. The recipients - and only they - were and are the Old Contemptibles. Their very special medal has come to be known, by hallowed tradition, as the ' Mons Star'; and this is their story. There is a small bump to the top corner on the blue boards which are crisp and clean. The dust jacket shows very light wear to the corners and is priced-clipped. N° de réf. du vendeur 06301
