WWII Royal Navy 5 Medal Group, Named Original Medal Box - Original WWII Royal Navy medal

Description

The box contains five WWII medals:
• 1939–1945 Star
• Atlantic Star
• Burma Star
• Defence Medal
• War Medal 1939–1945

Original WWII Royal Navy medal issue box, with handwritten recipient details and service number.

The box is addressed to:

Mr D. [surname unclear]
13 Laisteridge Court
Shearbridge
Bradford

A Royal Navy service number ending in 31341 is also handwritten on the side of the box. The full number and surname are difficult to decipher due to the age and fading of the handwriting.

The box carries the original printed Royal Navy return details for the Director of Navy Accounts, Branch 3B, “D” Block, Foxhill Hutments, Bath, Somerset.

A very interesting piece for a Royal Navy / WWII militaria collector, particularly because of the named box, original address and handwritten service number.

Hello, are the medals themselves engraved with name and rank ?

@donedealuser (#3ca453) hello there, No, these are standard wartime issue and are not engraved, which is 100% authentic and correct for WWII British campaign medals

Thank you for responding, also what is the significance of the general worker trade union badge?

@donedealuser (#3ca453) the badge came along with the box, medals and holy card as one lot.
I believe the badge design features a central monogram inside a winged cogwheel, which is a wartime industrial/civilian war worker lapel pin rather than a standard trade union badge.
During WWII, skilled tradesmen, dockyard engineers and defense factory workers wore these pins to prove they were engaged in essential war work. It's a great piece of home-front history that fits right alongside the sailor's Royal Navy service medals
