Reverse description A bold portrait of T.E. Lawrence — Lawrence of Arabia — occupies the central field, rendered in high relief with strong artistic character by engraver David Cornell. To his side, a dynamic composition depicts mounted soldiers on camels, evoking the Arabian campaigns of the First World War. The peripheral legend is separated by poppy flowers intertwined with barbed wire, symbolising remembrance and the conflict's human cost. The dates 1914 and 1918 flank the upper legend, marking the span of the Great War, with the engraver's initials D.C. inscribed within the design.
