Hammer Price:

Pair: Stores Petty Officer W. H. Stephen, Royal Navy

Naval General Service 1915-62
, 1 clasp, S.E. Asia 1945-46 (P/MX. 60167 Stores P.O., R.N.); Royal Navy L.S. & G.C., E.II.R., 1st issue (MX. 60167 S.P.O. (S.), H.M.S. Morecambe Bay), the second with officially corrected initials and both with slightly slack suspension, otherwise good very fine (2) £160-180

The frigate H.M.S. Morecambe Bay served in Korean Waters, so it is possible that Stephen qualified for the Korea 1950-53 and U.N. Korea Medals, in addition, of course, to near certain 1939-45 War entitlements.
