The three medals are the 1914-15 Star Medal, the British War Medal 1914-1918 and, most importantly, the Distinguished Conduct Medal (D.C.M) with a Dated Bar for a Second Award of Gallantry. Only 80 Dated Bars were awarded in the First World War, five of these going to members of the Royal Artillery. Corporal Vercoe was the second man from Hemel Hempstead to be awarded the D.C.M.
