Over the past 25 years I have collected items like a squirrel with no particular theme other than I have an interest in military items & small vintage collectors items. Sadly due to other collecting interests the time has come to offer some of the gems from my collection for sale to you. A very nice 100% genuine full size & correctly named WW1 Meritorious service medal (MSM) for home service to, RSM Jordan, Durham. A Rare WW1 immediate MSM for home services to- 21504. I (DURHAM LIGHT INFANTRY). Temporary paid regimental Sjt Mjr Albert Jordan was awarded the immediate MSM for home services whilst serving with the depot of the Durham Light infantry as part of northern command. This was published in the London gazette dated 5-6-1919 (The peace gazette) & the gazette goes on to state that he was a native of Rochdale. Complete with London gazette details. The recipient is not entitled to any other medals for service in WW1 as he did not serve overseas during that conflict. One of only 131 awards of the immediate MSM for services between 1916 & 1928 to the D. I & if my maths are correct? One of only 11 awards for home service to the regiment. Nef or better condition. Why not take a moment to view my other Durham Light Infantry medals that i have listed today. The item “WW1 Meritorious service medal (MSM) for home service to, RSM Jordan, Durham. L.
