An incredible medal collection and more for 1 man, 2 wars - An evocative and complete medal group awarded to J.W. Thorpe (J36295) spanning both World Wars. This set comprises: - 1914-15 Star - British War Medal 1914-18 - Victory Medal - 1939-45 Star - Atlantic Star - War Medal 1939-45 - Naval Long Service & Good Conduct Medal (George VI, 'Regular Army' type) - Royal Fleet Reserve Long Service & Good Conduct Medal (George VI) The medals are mounted for display and remain in good condition, with crisp naming and ribbon colour retention. Please note: while the 1914-15 Star is a desirable award, it is more commonly encountered than the rarer 1914 Star. Accompanying the medals is a hallmarked silver 15-jewel pocket watch, believed to be gifted around 1919 (unengraved and with no formal provenance), and Thorpe’s original Supplementary Clothing Book, stamped and named, offering a tangible link to life on the Home Front. A well-presented and complete naval group reflecting a full military career across two global conflicts. Perfect for collectors of naval history or those seeking a personal narrative through medals, timepieces, and paper.
