N.B. The Victory Medal is unofficially named, but for unknown reasons, his medal index card does not show an entitlement to this medal, despite confirming his BWM and TWFM. When this was queried with the Ministry of Defence in March and June 1985, they confirmed this was correct, but did not explain why (see original MoD correspondence enclosed, where all other medals and clasps are confirmed by copied medal rolls and medal index cards) Provenance: Spinks, Lot 53, November 21st, 2013
