The named First World War group consists of the 1914–15 Star, British War Medal and Victory Medal, forming the classic three-medal campaign trio commonly associated with service during the opening years of the conflict.
The medals carry the recipient’s service details and provide a clear starting point for further research into his Royal Navy career and wartime service.
Also included are four British Second World War campaign medals comprising the 1939–45 Star, Africa Star, Defence Medal and War Medal.
British Second World War campaign medals were generally issued unnamed, and the absence of engraved recipient details is therefore entirely normal.
The Second World War medals were acquired with the named naval trio, although it has not been established whether they relate to T.T. London himself or to another member of the same family.
The group is completed by a ribbon bar, several additional lengths of ribbon and a Royal Navy fabric cap badge featuring the King’s Crown.
Together, the medals and insignia form an attractive mixed-period naval group with strong potential for genealogical and service-history research.
Presented in good, honest original condition with general age-related wear throughout.
The naming on the First World War medals remains readable, with surface marks, rubbing and natural toning consistent with age and handling.
The Second World War medals show further light surface wear and marks from previous storage and display.
The medal ribbons display varying degrees of fading, fraying, creasing and age-related wear.
The naval cap badge shows wear, fading and surface marking to the fabric and embroidered detail, consistent with its age.
No attempt has been made to clean or polish the medals, allowing them to retain their natural aged appearance.
Please study all photographs carefully, as they form an important part of the description and provide the best indication of the naming, ribbons, badge and overall condition.
