Medal back

Rag Time Band

The medals were of silver, having blue enamelled fronts, bearing the Durham County coat of arms with Quarrington Hill Rag Time Band round the edge. The name of the recipient on the back with the words "Presented for services rendered in the Great War 1914-1919".

Only 100 were presented at the event reported as they were waiting for others to be made.

The photos of the medal and of the Quarrington Ragtime Band were sent in by Brian Collins. Whether these are the actual people isn't known but it's a lovely photograph!
