The Royal Navy's entitlement to the 1914 Star was almost exclusively restricted to the RN Division though personnel from a few other minor units - including, for example, Sick Berth staff from HMS Pembroke - also qualified. To qualify one had to have served in France/Belgium between 5th August and 22nd November 1914. This splendid work of research lists all those who were entitled to the Star, battalion by battalion, unit by unit. There is an excellent introduction giving the background to the formation of the RN Division and some of the arguments about RN entitlement to the star (the Admiralty was initially against it), and at the end there is a section devoted to the `story' of the Star from the Navy's viewpoint based on selected extracts from the Admiralty case file. Here we can read correspondence between the King, Admiralty and the War Office, Fleet and Army Orders and Press releases. A fascinating document which shows there is more to it than meets the eye in the creation of a campaign medal.

Drilling in the Monument Valley area totaled 50,353.1 feet and was carried out under three contracts. Two main areas were drilled; one in the vicinity of Monument No. 2 mine in Apache County, Arizona; and the other on Oljetoh Mesa in San Juan County, Utah. Contract AT(30-1)-1258 began February 1, 1952, and ended April 25, 1952; contract AT(05-1)-120 began July 17, 1951, and ended August 7, 1951; and contract AT(30-1)-1142 began August 1, 1951, and ended November 27, 1951. The largest mine in the region is the Monument No. 2 mine owned by the Vanadium Corporation of America. Several other small mines are operating or have operated in the vicinity. Information pertinent to drill operations and the uranium deposits were obtained.
