James Bertie Kimberley was born 1895 and was residing at 64 Lake St, Perth upon enlistment 16/6/1917, having previously served 1 1/2 years in the Australian Field Artillery. Qualified as a Farrier, stationed England 18/11/1917, France October 1918, discharged 31/10/1919.

The Victory Medal was authorised in 1919 to commemorate the victory of the Allied Forces over the Central Powers. Each of the Allied nations issued a ‘Victory Medal’ to their own nationals. Each nation used the standard ribbon but used different designs on the medal to reflect national identity and custom. A number had the figure of Victory on the obverse. Australians were awarded the medal issued by Great Britain.

The Victory Medal was awarded to prescribed classes of persons who entered a theatre of war on duty between 5 August 1914 and 11 November 1918.
