Dead Man's Penny of
# 781446 Pte. Robert Roy McKibben
In 1918 it was decided to recognize
the valour of each solidier killed during the
war. One million large bronze medallions and
a Letter of Condolence from His Majesty the
King were sent to families throughout
the Empire.
The images are based on the mythical tragic
love story of Pyrmus and Thisbe. The image
is that of Thisbe, holding Neptune’s Trident
in one hand, and a Laurel Wreath in the
other and a Lion walks beside Thisbe.
The Soldier’s name was inscribed on the
medallion. No rank was included as everyone
was equal in death.
In typical soldier’s fashion for creating
Names for things the medallion soon came
to be known as the Dead Man’s penny.
