Resided Town: Kinver, Staffordshire. Nationality: British Date of Death: 06/08/1915 Fate: Killed in Action Information: Parents: James and Mary Ann GREEN Rank: Private Service Number: 10551 Duty Location: Gallipoli Campaign Medals: 1914/15 Star Given the information we have available, it is very possible that George GREEN was was awarded the 1914-15 star campaign medal of the British Empire for his service in World War One. This Star is identical to the 1914 Star in every respect except that the centre scroll bears the dates “1914- 15” and the two small scrolls bearing “Aug” and “Nov” are omitted. He would also have received the British War Medal and Victory Medal, as it was not awarded singularly. These three medals were sometimes irreverently referred to as Pip, Squeak and Wilfred. With Pip representing either this medal or the 1914 Star, only one of which could be awarded to a soldier, Squeak represented the British War Medal and Wilfred represented the Victory Medal. Victory Medal Given the information we have available it is likely that George GREEN was entitled to the Victory medal, also called the Inter Allied Victory Medal. This medal was awarded to all who received the 1914 Star or 1914-15 Star and, with certain exceptions, to those who received the British War Medal. It was never awarded alone. These three medals were sometimes irreverently referred to as Pip, Squeak and Wilfred. Eligibility for this award consisted of having been mobilised, fighting, having served in any of the theatres of operations, or at sea, between midnight 4th/5th August, 1914, and midnight, 11th/12th November, 1918. Women who served in any of the various military organisations in a theatre of operations were also eligible. British War Medal From the information available to us, it is very possible that George GREEN was entitled to the British War Medal for service in World War One. This British Empire campaign medal was issued for services between 5th August 1914 and 11th November 1918. The medal was automatically awarded in the event of death on active service before the completion of this period. Service: British Army Regiment: Worcestershire Regiment Worcestershire Regiment during World War 1 Since 1815 the balance of power in Europe had been maintained by a series of treaties. In 1888 Wilhelm II was crowned ‘German Emperor and King of Prussia’ and moved from a policy of maintaining the status quo to a more aggressive position. He did not renew a treaty with Russia, aligned Germany with the declining Austro-Hungarian Empire and started to build a Navy rivalling that of Britain. These actions greatly concerned Germany’s neighbours, who quickly forged new treaties and alliances in the event of war. On 28th June 1914 Franz Ferdinand the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne was assassinated by the Bosnian-Serb nationalist group Young Bosnia who wanted pan-Serbian independence. Franz Joseph's the Austro-Hungarian Emperor (with the backing of Germany) responded aggressively, presenting Serbia with an intentionally unacceptable ultimatum, to provoke Serbia into war. Serbia agreed to 8 of the 10 terms and on the 28th July 1914 the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on Serbia, producing a cascade effect across Europe. Russia bound by treaty to Serbia declared war with Austro-Hungary, Germany declared war with Russia and France declared war with Germany. Germany’s army crossed into neutral Belgium in order to reach Paris, forcing Britain to declare war with Germany (due to the Treaty of London (1839) whereby Britain agreed to defend Belgium in the event of invasion). By the 4th August 1914 Britain and much of Europe were pulled into a war which would last 1,566 days, cost 8,528,831 lives and 28,938,073 casualties or missing on both sides. The Regiment raised 21 Battalions and was awarded 72 Battle Honours and 8 Victoria Crosses losing 9,460 men during the course of the war. 4th Battalion 04.08.1914 Stationed at Meiktila, Burma at the outbreak of war. 01.02.1915 Returned to England landing at Avonmouth and joined the 88th Brigade of the 29th Division. 21.03.1914 Mobilised for war and embarked at Avonmouth for Gallipoli via Egypt. 25.04.1915 Landed at Gallipoli and were engaged in actions at the Battles for Krithia and the Achi Baba heights on the Gallipoli Peninsula. 14.01.1916 Evacuated to Egypt due to the severe Allied casualties from combat, disease and harsh weather. 20.03.1916 Landed at Marseilles During 1916 The Battle of Albert, The Battle of the Transloy Ridges. During 1917 The First Battle of the Scarpe, The Second Battle of the Scarpe, The Third Battle of the Scarpe, The Battle of Langemarck, The Battle of Broodseinde, The Battle of Poelcapelle, The Battle of Cambrai. During 1918 The Battle of Estaires, The Battle of Messines 1918, The Battle of Hazebrouck, The Battle of Bailleul, The Action of Outtersteene Ridge, The capture of Ploegsteert and Hill 63, The Battle of Ypres 1918, The Battle of Courtrai. 11.11.1918 Ended the war in Belgium west of Lessines. In July and August 1914, Europe went to war. The Regiment already had 8 Battalions - 4 Regular (with one in Burma, one in Egypt and two at home), 2 Special Reserve (Militia) and 2 Territorial Army. During the war another 14 Battalions were raised, mainly from volunteers, making a total of 22. Twelve of the Battalions served overseas, in France and Belgium, Italy, Gallipoli, Mesopotamia and across the Balkans. These were made up of volunteers, until casualties led to less voluntary recruits. In 1916 the Military Services Act was passed. This started the conscription of all able-bodied men under the age of 45. The other ten Battalions were usually made up of men too old or unfit to serve overseas. Some were used to train recruits and others for transporting ammunition and supplies from factories and stores to the ports. Some were on Home Defence - protecting Britain from air raids, sea attacks and preventing spies from landing. Casualties 9,463 of them were killed and countless more wounded.
