Long Service & Good Conduct Medal - 1902 to 1919
During the period 1902 to 1919 there were 175 Long Service and Good Conduct Medals were awarded to men of the Worcestershire Regiment. There were a further 7 medals recommended but were not awarded after consideration. In 1917 the medal was awarded to Quartermaster Sergeant John James Crowe. He was afterwards commissioned as an officer in the 2nd Battalion Worcestershire Regiment and went on to be awarded the Victoria Cross for his gallant actions at Lys Valley in 1918. Below is a full list covering the period 1902-1919 with additional information and photos where available. This may be added to from time to time as more details become available.
