Royal Humane Society, small bronze medal (successful) (Lieut. Charles G. Coull, R.N.R., 19th Feb. 1917), lacking riband buckle for wear, extremely fine £100-120

Charles Green Coull was awarded the R.H.S. Medal in bronze for rescuing a man who had fallen into Grimsby Dock on 19 February 1917. Having been commissioned as a Sub. Lieutenant in April 1916, he was serving in H.M.S. Gatwick at the time, and appears to have remained similarly employed until demobilised as a Lieutenant in March 1920.

His Great War campaign medals were forwarded to him in November 1922; sold with brief details.
