Three: Corporal W. O’Neill, Royal Air Force

1914-15 Star; British War and Victory Medals (8210. Cpl. W. O’Neill. R.A.F.) mounted in a glazed display frame, together with an R.F.C. cap badge, nearly extremely fine (3) £160-200

Walter O’Neill was born in 1890 and enlisted in the Royal Flying Corps on 2 September 1915. He served as a Wireless Operator in the Royal Flying Corps and later the Royal Air Force during the Great War on the Western Front from 7 November 1915 until 7 February 1919, and was promoted Corporal on 1 October 1916.

Note: Owing to the fact that the medals are mounted in a glazed display frame, the reverse of the 1914-15 Star has not been inspected. Consequently this lot is sold ‘as viewed’, and is not subject to return.
