Well, for starters, he served with the Signals Troop, 1st Light Horse, in the Australian Imperial Forces during the First World War.

You don't say what the medal is, but it is most likely:
a. The 1914-15 Star (bronze star with 4 points, named on the back) - for entry into a war zone in 1914 or 1915 - if it is this he will be entitled to the other two as well.
b. British War Medal (silver medal, with a man on horseback on the reverse, named on the rim)
c. Victory Medal (gilded bronze, with a Victory [looks like an angel]on the front, named on the edge)

Some of our Australian members can advise you how to get service record information, probably through the Australian War Memorial.

Good Luck!

G'day Breidi,
Herbert Larkin was one of the many memebers of the AIF to transfer to the RFC/RAF.He served at Gallipoli and was wounded. On recovery transferred to RFC/RAF. Served with 87 sqn flying Dolphins, got all of his 11 victories flying this type of plane, check his profile on the aces page.

If ever you want to sell Larkin's medal and the piece of paper, please email me.

Andrew.
