Hi all, I have a STERLING SILVER (Hallmarked) Medallion, about the size of a 2 Pence Piece with a hole in the top for putting on a this chain.
On one side is written the following;- FROM SYDNEY.S.GUY for SERVICES RENDERED IN THE GREAT WAR, 1914-1918, GUY MOTORS LTD.
The Other side shows (front) shows a Scantilly Clad Lady holding a WREATH, with a letter G in Blue, then a Hallmark.
Please can any body give me any Information / the history of this medallion & tell me IF it has any great value .
Thank You ALL in Advance, Kenny in North Wales.

Guy Motors Ltd. was founded by Sidney Guy in 1913 at Fallings Park, Wolverhampton.

When the First World War broke out production was taken over by the Ministry of Munitions. Guy�s produced large numbers of military vehicles. They also became the largest UK manufacturer of depth charge firing mechanisms and also produced large numbers of aero engines.

At the end of the war the company held an Armistice Dinner for all of their employees and every one of them was given a small, real silver, medallion, celebrating the event and thanking them for their contribution to the war effort.
