British WWI Distinguished Conduct Medal, Framed Citation & Award Announcement

Original era issue and publication. WWI Distinguished Conduct Medal as awarded to 275 Company Sergeant Major R. Abbott, Lancashire Fusiliers. Named on the edge with original ribbon. Comes with a framed announcement of his award, and a printed copy of his citation. 'For conspicuous gallantry and devotion to duty. During a counter-attack he set a magnificent example by penetrating further into a village than anyone else and bringing back valuable information as to the location of the enemy. Hearing that an enemy officer had entered a house about 300 yards in front of the line, he crossed No Man's Land in daylight and cleverly captured him, this securing important identification'. As purchased by us, we added a correct cap badge to the grouping.
