This WW1 Canadian CEF Medal Group Pair is attributed to Private J.J. Walsh, service number 2304309, of the 58th Battalion, Canadian Expeditionary Force. The group consists of two original medals typically awarded for service during the First World War: the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. Each medal is correctly impressed with the recipient’s service details along the rim: “2304309 PTE. J.J. WALSH. 58-CAN. INF.” The 58th Battalion was part of the 9th Canadian Brigade, 3rd Canadian Division, and served in France and Flanders from 1916 to 1918. J.J. Walsh’s medals represent participation in the Canadian military effort on the Western Front. The included medals provide tangible evidence of service in the CEF during major campaigns of the Great War. This group is suitable for those seeking authentic artifacts related to Canadian military history and the contributions of individual soldiers during World War One.
