KGVI Royal Victorian Medal

[jeffskea]

Hello,

 

With recent historical events surrounding the death of the Monarch, this interesting set is quite poignant and telling for its simplicity.

 

While sole attribution may be unlikely, I'm interested to see how far down one could go. A starting point for me would be the assumption of most likely probabilities:

 

- Post-War enlistment, possibly National Service;

- Demise RVM for KGVI funeral, largest group of recipients was the naval gun carriage (list can also be cross-referenced with the 1953 Coronation Roll); 

- Post-Armistice or support service during Korean War (not uncommon among naval recipients) Guards doubtful, Royal Horse Artillery or Household Cavalry regiments both possibilities and would be interested to find out if either units qualified in any numbers; and

- Court mounting does not entirely fit with contemporary naval mounting regs of time (swing mounted overlapping) but not definitive.

 

A combination I have not seen before, appreciate any further insight.

 

Jeff
