Case with unknown initials

[Xtender]

Hello, can anyone find out the name (person) on this case?

R.D.S. Crosse, R.N?

Thanks, Xt.

[Michael Johnson]

Ancestry shows a Sub-Lt. Robert D.S. Crosse entitled to a First War Trio, sent to HMS Comus.

His confidential reports and service record are available from National Archives here: http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/search-results.asp?searchtype=browserefine&query=first_name%3drobert%7clast_name%3dcrosse&catid=33&pagenumber=1&querytype=1&mediaarray=*

According to Ancestry he married twice, and died in 1967. He retired as a Commander and was latterly a company director.

OBE Jan 1, 1945 http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/36866/supplements/8

Michael, thanks for fast reply....You find it!

In this case are personal shoulder and hat of Mr. Crosse.

He was commander of royal navy?

[Mervyn Mitton]

Just for interest - a Commander in the Royal Navy - is the equivalent of a Lt. Colonel in the Army.

.....anyone know what it might be worth?

[Laurence Strong]

Very nice ensemble

@ Micheal

These items are fairly plentiful - and do not fetch very high prices. With a fitted case for the epaulettes

and with the hat looking a little the worse for wear - perhaps 100 to 150 pounds on a good day. But,

then you have the min. 25% commission off the 'top end'.

If you are looking to sell - put it on GMIC - we don't charge a commission.
