Scarce WW1 medal group 1st Royal Irish Regiment Mentioned in despatches

This is a very interesting WW1 medal group to Pte L S Jeffrey who served at Gallipoli with the 1st battalion Royal Irish regiment and with the regiment was mentioned in despatches”for gallant and distinguished services in the field”. The soldiers are displayed with a turkish star from Gallipoli, I believe the enameled star to be original, just a fairly poor quality example. Private Lewis Jeffrey served with the Transport section of the army service corps before joining the Royal Irish regiment and being mentioned in despatches. I believe his medals will be named to him in the A. C as this was his first regiment he served with. I believe Pte Lewis S Jeffrey was from Glasgow and served in Gallipoli. I also have his brothers medal group for sale on another listing. He was Gallipoli casualty with the Army cyclist corps. His medals are contemporary framed like his brothers and both medal groups have came from the same source. Any questions please feel free to ask.
