    British War Medal

    With the information in Peter Shinkwin's record, it is likely that they were entitled to the British War Medal for service in World War One. This British Empire campaign medal was issued for services between 5th August 1914 and 11th November 1918.

This medal was awarded to all who received the 1914 Star or 1914-15 Star and, with certain exceptions, to those who received the British War Medal. It was never awarded alone. These three medals were sometimes irreverently referred to as Pip, Squeak and Wilfred.

    Eligibility for this award consisted of having been mobilised, fighting, having served in any of the theatres of operations, or at sea, between midnight 4th/5th August, 1914, and midnight, 11th/12th November, 1918. Women who served in any of the various military organisations in a theatre of operations were also eligible.

    Unit History: Royal Irish Rifles

    The Regiment was officially formed in 1881 when the 83rd and 86th Regiments of Foot were amalgamated however its history can be traced back 88 years prior to this date.

    Britain and France were rarely 'not at war' for 126 years (1689-1815) and in 1793 conflict arose again during the French Revolutionary Wars. Several additional Regiments were raised to meet the needs of the war; two of these Regiments were the 83rd which was first raised by William Fitch in Dublin as the 83rd (County of Dublin) Regiment of Foot and the 86th (Royal County Down) Regiment of Foot.

    The 83rd was soon deployed to the West Indies to gain ownership of valuable French possessed Islands in the region. The Regiment remained in the region for three years and was ravaged by yellow fever. The 83rd returned to Ireland in 1798 and raised a second Battalion which went on to serve during the Peninsula War (1808-1814) fighting at Talavera, Busaco, Fuentes d'Onor, Ciudad Rodrigo, Badajos, Salamanca, Vittoria, Nivelle, Orthes, Toulouse, Peninsula. The first Battalion sailed to South Africa to secure the Cape of Good Hope from the Dutch, which was an important port on the trade route to India. British troops forced the surrender of the colony after winning the Battle of Blaauwberg in 1806 and the Regiment remained to garrison the Cape of Good Hope until 1818.

    The Regiment was deployed to Canada for 10 years from 1834 where its main duty was to maintain order during the Upper and Lower Canada rebellions of 1837 and fought at the Battle of the Windmill in 1838. The Regiment was also involved in the Indian Rebellion of 1857 and the First Anglo-Boer War (1880-1881).

    The 86th Regiment was originally raised by General Cornelius Cuyler in Shropshire as 'Cuyler's Shropshire Volunteers' but had difficulty recruiting sufficient numbers and moved to Leinster, Ireland and recruited as the 'Irish Giants'. During the French Revolutionary Wars the 86th initially served as marines at The Battle of Groix, when elements of the British Channel Fleet defeated the French Atlantic Fleet but an opportunity to destroy the whole fleet was missed. The Regiment was also part of the 1801 Egypt Campaign which drove Napoleon's Army out of Egypt and captured the French Island of Bourbon (now Râeunion). The 86th also served in India during the Indian Rebellion of 1857, fighting at the storming of the Jhansi fortress for which four soldiers of the 86th were awarded the Victoria Cross; Lieutenants Cochrane and Jerome and Privates Byrne and Pearson.

    Both Regiments were amalgamated in 1881 as part of the Childers Reforms which restructured the British army into a network of multi-battalion Regiments to become The Royal Irish Rifles. The newly formed Regiment went on to serve during the Second Boer War (1899-1902) and two World Wars. In 1921 the Regiment was renamed as the Royal Ulster Rifles. In 1968 it was amalgamated with The Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers and The Royal Irish Fusiliers to form The Royal Irish Rangers. In 1992 the Regiment was further amalgamated with the Ulster Defence Regiment to form The Royal Irish Regiment. The Regiment is one of only two Irish Regiments remaining in the British Army along with the Irish Guards.

    Royal Irish Rifles during WW1
    Since 1815 the balance of power in Europe had been maintained by a series of treaties. In 1888 Wilhelm II was crowned 'German Emperor and King of Prussia' and moved from a policy of maintaining the status quo to a more aggressive position. He did not renew a treaty with Russia, aligned Germany with the declining Austro-Hungarian Empire and started to build a Navy rivalling that of Britain. These actions greatly concerned Germany's neighbours, who quickly forged new treaties and alliances in the event of war. On 28th June 1914 Franz Ferdinand the heir to the Austro-Hungarian throne was assassinated by the Bosnian-Serb nationalist group Young Bosnia who wanted pan-Serbian independence. Franz Joseph's the Austro-Hungarian Emperor (with the backing of Germany) responded aggressively, presenting Serbia with an intentionally unacceptable ultimatum, to provoke Serbia into war. Serbia agreed to 8 of the 10 terms and on the 28th July 1914 the Austro-Hungarian Empire declared war on Serbia, producing a cascade effect across Europe. Russia bound by treaty to Serbia declared war with Austro-Hungary, Germany declared war with Russia and France declared war with Germany. Germany's army crossed into neutral Belgium in order to reach Paris, forcing Britain to declare war with Germany (due to the Treaty of London (1839) whereby Britain agreed to defend Belgium in the event of invasion). By the 4th August 1914 Britain and much of Europe were pulled into a war which would last 1,566 days, cost 8,528,831 lives and 28,938,073 casualties or missing on both sides.
