Medals

Rosalie from Wainuiomata

Hi anyone know anything about Medals or can tell me where I can get some information. I just had a visit from my brother from the UK and he has handed me two identical medals that belonged to my father they are very grey and dirty so I hope I have not done the wrong thing as I cleaned one of them up a bit. on the medals is a Picture of a naked man on a naked horse, well it has no saddle bridal or reins is what I mean. it has the date 1914/1918 the reverse side it has the profile of king George, and round the edge, is George IVS. V BRITT: OMN: REX ET IND: IMP: the ribbon it is on, is blue edges to yellow and orange in the middle. I do not even know if this ribbon goes with these medals I do not know anything about these neither does my brother who has now returned to the UK.
Can anyone tell me where to go to find out or where to start. Many thanks

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.

This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
Do you think NZ should follow suit? Vote in our poll and share your thoughts below.
