Orders, Decorations, Medals and Militaria

Pair: Canteen Assistant J. E. Moore, Royal Navy

Naval General Service 1915-62, 1 clasp, Palestine 1936-1939 (Ctn. Asst., R.N.); Jubilee 1935, privately engraved, ‘J. E. Moore, H.M. Yacht Victoria & Albert’, extremely fine and unusual (2) £160-180

John E. Moore is confirmed as having received the Jubilee Medal 1935 on the official roll, being listed thereon as ‘Staff, N.A.A.F.I.’ (ADM 171/68 refers); sold with original addressed forwarding box for his 1939-45 campaign awards, the accompanying Admiralty issuance slip confirming a total of eight medals and clasps, so a well-travelled Canteen Assistant he must have been.
