The medal was awarded to all ranks of Canadian military forces overseas in WW I who came from Canada between 05 August 1914 and 11 November 1918, or who had served in a theatre of war. The requirements for RAF personnel were the same as for the army. Naval personnel were required to have 28 days of mobilized service or to have lost their lives before this period of service was complete. Pte Joseph F. Etue spent his military service in England working in a military hospital assisting in the care of returning wounded soldiers from the front lines. After Joseph Etue died his Estate Trustee Anthony Etue gave this medal to Peter Frances Etue, who in turn passed the medal along to Douglas Anthony Etue for safekeeping. |

After Joseph's death, Francis Gerald "Gerry" Sim 1926-1992 & his wife Edith Eva (nee McLean) married 1950. Sim purchased Joseph's home on 1st Street Block 2 #2797 Carrot River, Saskatchewan. After Joseph's death 13 Sep 1979 it is estimated that his Estate would have sold his home to the Sim family. The Sim probably would have moved in sometime in the Fall of 1979 or early 1980. Francis Gerald Sim 1926-1992 and his wife Edith E Sim (birth name McLean) 1929-2000. Perhaps they lived in uncle Joseph's home until their passings; Francis 1992 and Edith 2000 or they sold the house again some date between 1992-2000. |
