    Hello from Sheffield, England! I am an 18 year old who's Grandfather served in WW1, I have several medals, newspaper articles from 1918 as as some other miscellaneous items. I made a video with the items in the hopes that someone could shed some light on them, I will also get around to scanning the paper works later but for now here is the video:

    Hi and welcome to the forum. Not sure if you know it but you will find the name of the medal owner on the edge of the medal, including his rank, number and regiment. It looks like he was in the Middlesex Regt. I think the newspaper map is really great, it shows the German retreat and Allied advance just before the end of the war. It mentions the flu on the back which actually killed more people of the world than what the war killed. If you have any particular questions please ask them and i will try to answer them for you
