Summary[edit]

Description

The 1914-15 Star was awarded to those who served in any theater between August 1914 and December 1915.


Battles during this period include the Battle of Loos; lasting less than one month, British casualties totaled nearly 60,000. At the height of the battle, twelve attacking battalions, totaling 10,000 men, suffered 8,000 casualties in just four hours.


"Never had the machine-gunners such straightforward work to do nor done it so unceasingly. The men stood on the firestep, some even on the parapets, and fired exultantly into the mass of men advancing across the open grassland. As the entire field of fire was covered with the enemy's infantry the effect was devastating and they could be seen falling in hundreds."


German Regimental Diarist, after the Battle of Loos, September 1915
