The medals are totally original and are in practically mint state with their original mint ribbons. The Plaque is EF with a slight stain at left.
Comes with CWG paperwork and the original Admiralty medal issue & condolence letter (10th December 1923 ) in the original registered envelope sent to a Mrs A Cairns who we think was his wife under her second married name.
