30th September 1914, who had completed four years service by that date,
and had served outside the United Kingdom between 4th August 1914 and 11th
November 1918. Those who already qualified for either the 1914 Star or the
1914-15 Star however were excluded. There were no bars issued for this
medal.
The reverse shows a wreath enclosing the text FOR VOLUNTARY SERVICE OVERSEAS 1914-1919. The ribbon is watered Gold silk with two dark Green stripes towards the edge. There were only approximately 34,000 medals issued making this by far the scarcest of the First World War medals. |
