Original full size medal. The Gallipoli Star is an eight pointed bronze star with a silver disc overlaid in the centre. This disc features, in relief, the king’s crown in the centre encircled by the words’GALLIPOLI 1914-15′. Suspension is by an integral ring from the top of the uppermost point of the star. P’ is impressed into the reverse. The ribbon comprises a central 9 mm blue stripe, flanked by 3 mm crimson stripes, the outer edges of 8 mm being gold on the right and silver grey on the left. The Gallipoli Star and its ribbon were designed in 1917 by R K Peacock, but official approval from King George V for the proposed campaign medal was withdrawn after the ribbon, but not the medal, had been manufactured, because it was to have been presented only to Australians and New Zealanders, but not British or other Empire soldiers involved in the campaign. Some Anzac veterans are known to have been issued with lengths of ribbon during the war in anticipation of the medal’s production. In 1990, Mr Ross Smith, a former Australian Army Warrant Officer and Vietnam veteran, arranged, at his own expense, for dies from the original design to be manufactured, and for A J Parkes & Co Pty Ltd, of Brisbane, to strike 1000 examples of the medal. 200 of these stars were presented to surviving Australian and New Zealand Gallipoli veterans to mark the 75th anniversary of the campaign. A further 1000 were later struck for sale to collectors. The design features an eight pointed star, representing the states and territories of Australia (seven points) and New Zealand. The colours of the ribbon are blue, representing the ocean, gold, representing Australian Wattle, silver grey, representing New Zealand fern, and red for the colour of Australian gum blossom and the New Zealand Rata flower.

December 1895 in London, the son of machinist Charles Douglas Ramsey and his wife, Emily Amy Ramsey, of 9 London Road, Battersea Park. The 1911 census records him as a civil service student (aged 15). Unfortunately his WW1 records have not survived the Blitz but it is known that he landed in Egypt on the 11/9/1915 and served with the 1. City of London Yeomanry (Rough Riders) throughout the war. He was still serving with them as a Corporal when demobilised on 9/3/1919. The unit had become 103rd Battalion M. During the war the City of London Yeomanry had fought on Gallipoli as dismounted infantry from August 1915 November 1915. As Ramsey had landed in country on the 11/9/15 it is highly probable that he served on Gallipoli.

As parents to a newborn baby, Peter John Ramsey, the couple did make a brief foray back to England in order to see family, but this remained nothing more than a holiday – Charles’s occupation being stated as Immigration Officer. Returning to Rhodesia, Charles and forty three colleagues spent the 1930s carefully policing all those coming into and out of Bulawayo, much of this achieved on bicycle and through what we term today as’good old fashioned policing’, based heavily upon social interaction and building relationships with local people. Awarded the Bar to his Long Service Medal from the hand of the Governor in August 1944 (The Outpost, refers, with picture in article), Ramsey retired from the B. On 1 July 1946 and transferred to pension in the rank of Detective Inspector.

WW1 Australian Gallipoli 1st day lander medal trio to Private T. Whitear, 4th Battalion A. Who was most likely also a 1st day wounded casualty. 1914-15 Star, British War and Victory Medals, impressed named 400 PTE T. Rising sun collar badge. Comes with copies Australian Army service papers, copy embarkation roll & newspaper casualty list, unit diary April 1915, Passenger list 1911. Professionally glass framed and mounted display. Frame Size 54cm x 33cm. Items can be sent without frames at buyers request. Was born in Newton Abbot, Devon, England in 1888. He emigrated to New South Wales in 1911, his occupation was recorded as a miner. He enlisted on the 31/8/1914 to the 4th Battalion A. After only two months training, the battalion was among the first Australian units to be deployed overseas. Pte Whitear embarked on H. T Euripides on the 20/10/1914, arriving in Egypt 2/12/1914. After this the battalion undertook further training and took part in the defence of the Suez Canal before landing at ANZAC Cove 25th April 1915 as part of the 2nd & 3rd wave. Pte Whitear is listed on the embarkation roll as serving with E Coy, but B Coy on his casualty sheet. From there, evacuated 29/4/15 landing at Alexandria 1/5/1915 and sent to hospital at Ras El Tin. 4th Battalion casualties between 25 & noon 30th April: Officers 2 KIA 6 WIA. Other Ranks 26 KIA 89 WIA. Total 8 officers & 182 men. During the day the medical services were overwhelmed. The suffering of the wounded was pitiful; many men died on the beach, and it is estimated that hundreds more lay in the hills out of the reach of help. Most notably, there were inadequate arrangements for the critically wounded, who could not be taken back to the ships until after all the troops and stores had been landed. It was early evening before boats became available; many of the maimed and bleeding were sent off in filthy barges. No one knows for sure how many Australians died on the first day, perhaps 650. Total casualties, including wounded, must have been about 2,000. This news trickled in to the Australian newspapers. Even a month after the landing, only 350 deaths had been acknowledged. It is also said that two fell overboard and drowned. We list militaria and coins weekly. We provide quality mounted medals, badges and historical research.
