The medal is in great condition, named correctly as issued & on an original ribbon.  It could do with a clean & the ribbon is also grubby & has left an impression on the back of the medal that will easily polish off.

Comes with prints of M.I.C./medal rolls, RAF papers & 2 pension papers.

 

MEF.

While Gallipoli as the only active Mediterranean theatre, the MEF was used to refer to the forces at Gallipoli.  With the opening of the Salonika front in October 1915, the forces at Gallipoli were referred to as the Dardanelles Army and the Salonika contingent became the Salonika Army on the Macedonian front.
