McMillan, William (b.1887, d.1977)
|
Circa 1919

The obverse of the medal depicts the standing figure of Victory holding a palm branch in her right hand and stretching out her left hand. On the reverse of the medal is a laurel wreath containing a four-line inscription: "THE GREAT WAR FOR CIVILISATION 1914-1919". The dates are '1914-1919' to include post-war intervention by the Allied nations in the Russian Civil War. The medal is yellow bronze and is attached to the ribbon by a ring.
The ribbon is watered silk with a double rainbow, with indigo at the edges and red in the centre. "67947 Pte. J. Rosie N.Z.E.F." is stamped on the side. |

McMillan, William (b.1887, d.1977)

Circa 1919
|
The obverse of this medal shows the uncrowned left-facing profile of King George V by Sir Bertram Mackennal. The reverse of the medal depicts St George on horseback trampling underfoot the eagle shield of the Central Powers, and a skull and cross-bones (the emblems of death). Above, the sun has risen in victory. The figure is mounted on horseback to symbolise man's mind controlling a force of greater strength than his own, and thus alludes to the scientific and mechanical developments and machines which helped to win the war.
The ribbon consists of an orange watered centre, with thin stripes of white and black at each side, and borders of royal blue. On the edge is "6/3279 - P.T.E. W. Collins N.Z.E.F." |
