British War Medal 1914-20 (9450 Pte. R. Deguara. K.O. Malta M.), very fine

Ruggien Deguara was born at Rabat, Malta and enlisted into the 1st Battalion, King's Own Malta Regiment of Militia attested on 21 September 1914 and disembarked at Cyprus on 14 January 1915, where he served for seven months. He was quickly promoted Lance Corporal but curiously reduced back down to Private in July 1916 - it took him two further years to get back to his former rank. He spent the rest of his war in Malta, survived the war and discharged from military service in May 1920. This medal is his sole entitlement.
