The Tibet Medal is fitted with a very well made contemporary copy bar, it is attractively re-engraved in script in a similar style to the original naming: “4351 Pte J. W. Pittman. Ryl: Fus:”
WW1 Pair officially impressed: “1044 W.O. Cl. 2. J. W. Pittman. R. Fus.”

John Pittman is on the medal roll for the Tibet medal with bar for Gyantse, however it was his 1st earned medal, and appears to have gone missing or been sold at some point, someone went to great expense in the period to put this display together.
