WW1 Special Constable Medal (GV - Crowned Head) with 'Great War 1914-18' clasp -Walter Key

In very good condition with original ribbon and award bar for WW1 service. Correctly impressed.

Special Constables who served during World War I from 1914 to 1918 for three years, and performed at least 150 police duties were eligible to be awarded the medal. Recipients who received the medal under these conditions were entitled to a clasp inscribed The Great War 1914 - 18 to denote their World War I service.

Walter Key possibly from Norfolk area as this was where the medal originated from, but unable to confirm. There was a butcher who owned a butcher's shop of that name in Great Yarmouth and such occupations tended to be exempt from conscription during WW1. Worthy of more research.
