1914-15 Star Trio
BRITISH RED CROSS & ORDER of ST JOHN of JERUSALEM
(Nurse)
To: E. CREWE. B.R.C. & O.S.J.J. (St J.J. on pair)
NOTE: For a long time we thought this group was an 'uncorrected' double award to the same lady as above (CREWE / CREWES), but apparently these are two different female? recipients who were clearly related (sisters?) This group should perhaps also have been returned & corected to read "CREWE(S)" as all the medals came from the same house clearance in the Gloucester area. The correct family name here is clearly CREWES but clearly, only Ms E. (Eleanor) A. CREWES (above) bothered to get her medals sent back and amended by the medal office, with the addition of the final ‘S’.
This is borne out by the presence of a further War Medal and Victory Medal Pair.
