My great grandfather served uk and Ireland only in the army and did not receive any medals as you had to serve outside your country of origin to qualify for a medal
the Royal Marines were governed by the Navy and they awarded the British war medal for home (uk) service.
Order st john
british war medal
1911 coronation medal St. John reverse
st John ls medal with date bars
royal naval auxiliary sick berth attendant ls medal with extra ls bar
the navy issued single bwm only and the rnasba recruited direct from Sjab
a fantastic group if you write to St. John hq they may have records
his is rn record should be at the national archives

Hi there is no J Gubbins on the roll. There is a William Gubbins warrant number 73501 who joined 12/3/88 retired 17/6/08 who served H division and got the 1897 and 1902 medal. regards James
yes they can be worn together, and as previously stated the Nato medals are worn in date order of issue.
It depends if he was a contractor with nato, if he was then he would be issued the ISAF medal, as a civilian he ca wear this medal, if still serving then it cannot be worn.
regards
distinguish flying cross Copy
Air force cross maybe copy?

If bomber command then it is missing the new bomber command clasp
if all are copies then group is worth £100
Nick, a very impressive group but the medal award certificate does not belong to it or you are missing 2 clasps possibly pacific and france and germany.
The medal certificate shows 7 items were snet in the brown box, this does not include the MiD as this was awarded seperately the same as the malta cnvoy medal issued in 1995? and russian 40th issued in 1985.
therefor as 5 medals are mounted the only possible 2 extra would be pacific clasp for the burma star and the france and germany clasp for the atlantic star.
Kind Regards

my wife got hers 2 weeks ago, she is a paramedic.
I am still waiting for mine, I am a community first responder.
There is much arguments in the ambulance service as to why us CFR's are getting it as we are volunteers whereas the full time staff who work for PTS and the control room are not getting it.
As i pointed out to some we also answer to 999 calls albeit in our villages whereas the PTS crews dont.
I have contacted HR and they have told me it has been sent to my ambulance officer in charge so am waiting for her to presnet it to me.
It will look nice next to my Golden jubilee medal.
