Awarded to Rifleman R21958 Frederick Robert Griffiths of the Kings Royal Rifle Corps.  He served with the 17th and 20th Battalions, known as the British Empire League and British Empire League Pioneers respectively, and A Company with the 20th.

Records show that he served from December 1915 until September 1917. He is entitled to a pair. records show that he was shot twice, once in the left shoulder and once in the left hand most likely at the same time.  Going by the date he was discharged, we figure he could well have been injured while serving in Italy.
