Volunteers Medal for J. Connolly 1916 Combatants Medal: A good 1916 Combatants Volunteer Medal issued to J. Connolly, reverse of medal engraved with name and with green and gold ribbon but lacking clasp. * While this appears to be a genuine Easter Week Volunteers medal, it is unlikely to be the medal of James Connolly of the Citizen army, as medals issued to signatories of The Proclamation are generally numbered on the back with the name. There were other 1916 volunteers with the same name and initial, like Sean (John) Connolly, also a Citizen Army member, shot dead near Dublin Castle on Easter Monday morning. Sold as is. Provenance: Purchased by the present vendor some 15 years ago from a Dublin family. (1)
