WWI Mons Star trio Somerset Light Infantry

Good afternoon gents,

Here is a nice group complete with the ribbon bar and rosette that I was lucky engough to snap up for around 30% below book price.

I haven’t collected British medals to any great degree so far and would like to start researching the ones I have when I have time. If anyone here can give me any info regarding this group I would be very grateful but what I really want to know is which are the best online resources to use (I just can’t afford to take a whole day visiting Kew every time) so that I can do it myself without relying on the goodwill of the members here;

I think it interesting that even though these medals would most likely have been issued at the same time the star is impressed with battalion and regiment whilst the other two are impressed with just the regiment. Maybe this is due to the star bein instituted some two years befor the other two? Unless the star was issued on its’ own?
