I don't own this space under my name. I should have leased it while I still could

Melchett, AFAIK the only medals awarded in 1916 were Pop, Squeak and Wilfred. You qualified or you didn't. There was no contention over qualification. The Arctic Star was retrospective and awarded to retired personnel or their NOK.

The LSGC medal was also retrospective and similarly awarded to retired personnel and NOK (among others) but limited to an arbitrary period.
