A Rare 8 Medal Combination.
World War1 Lancashire Fusiliers, then, Inter-War & World War 2 R.A.F.
:Comprising:
1914-18 War & Victory Medals.(LAN FUS)
1939-45 Star, France & Germany Star, Defence & War Medals.
L.S.C.G. (GV) (R.A.F.)
& IRAQ SERVICE MEDAL
(Clasp 1930-31).
To:
56974. Pte. N.E.W. STANTON.. LAN FUS. ..
Later 346974. ACT/SGT. N.E.W. STANTON. R.A.F.
Including his inter-war Dog Tags and WW2 Service Badge in original box. Also, many unusual Buffalo Medals from 1934 to 1942 and two RAF (India) shooting Medals (Cpl, Stanton 1935 & 1936) . An interesting and unusual grouping to a man with a long period of Army and Air Force service from 1916 to about c,1946 with various masonic and buffalo lodge membership in UK and India.
( NOTE: a couple of his Buffs medals are named to "A. Stanton" but this was an error which was not corrected at the time of issue)
Basic checking shows Army Service from 1916 with a period of demobilisation before re-joining the RAF some time between September 1919 and June 1925.
His RAF service in Iraq (1930-31) and his later just pre-war and WW2 RAF Indian service did not qualify for any service medals and this is his full entitlement.
Worthy of much further research.
