28th Arrows Broad Commemorative Corps Department Divisional Engraved Football League Medal Reads Regiments Searle Ware Winners

EDITORS COMMENTS
1. Title: "28th (CO) Royal Army Service Corps Football Team: Winners of the Divisional Troops League in 1918-1919". This silver medal, engraved with two War Department broad arrows, commemorates the victory of the 28th Company of the Royal Army Service Corps (RASC) football team in the Divisional Troops League during World War I. The left side of the medal bears the inscription "W. SEARLE," recognizing the individual achievement of a team member, while the right side displays the unit's insignia and the league's name. The 28th Company, part of the larger RASC, played a crucial role in the logistical support of the British military during the First World War. This medal, a testament to their morale and camaraderie, serves as a significant historical artifact, reminding us of the human side of the military experience during this period. The broad arrows, a symbol of the War Department, signify the official recognition of their athletic accomplishment. The medal's inscription, "Divisional Troops Winners Medal 1918/19," further emphasizes the importance of sports and team spirit within the military community during wartime. This commemorative ware is a valuable addition to any military history collection and a poignant reminder of the resilience and determination of soldiers during the First World War.
