Winston Churchill's medals

[Ed_Haynes]

While it is this is the "short group" of miniatures of George VI, as sold by Morton & Eden (with reasonably solid attribution and provenence) in their December 2008 sale. Several oddities there.

Starting with the crosses, what are (L-R) 1, 2, 3, & 5? I know the Croix de Guerre.

Ed thanks for posting. Most interesting

Looks like he received Queen Victoria's Diamond Jubilee Medal aged all of 2 years!

For the crosses, I can identify:

1=Order of St Vladimir of Russia with crossed swords (for Jutland in WWI)

2=Norwegian War Cross.

Cheers
