WW1 badge help, King's Liverpool Regiment

[Jill on the A272]

These are my grandfather's WW1 medals and cap badge, and two additional badges on khaki, two blue chevrons and a brownish gold strip, these are the ones I would like to identify.

He was Private 103559 13th Kings Liverpool Regiment.

The single strait chevron is a wound stripe. The V chevrons indicate overseas service. If you google the long long trail this will explain all.

grumpy thank you very much, dad's cousin thinks he was gassed so that would probably count as wounded.

I put them on a local (to where grandad lived) Facebook group too and a young man who collects WW1 memorabilia told me the ribbons were the wrong way round so I will be fixing that. I might get them mounted rather than keeping them in a cupboard. We also have OH's paternal grandfather's medals, and his father's WW2 ones.

I think it's always better to display the medals rather than hide them in a cupboard and eventually when you both pass and the children clear out and haven't a clue who they belonged to. You also have the added bonus that if anyone visits and they're displayed in a prominent place it can be a talking point.
