WW1 British Merchant Navy Medal Group X 4 W. Marshall

This lot comprises a group of four First World War medals awarded to W. Marshall of the British Merchant Navy. The set typically includes the British War Medal, the Mercantile Marine War Medal, and other associated campaign medals issued for service during the conflict. Each medal is struck in the original metal, featuring the official likeness of King George V on the obverse and relevant program insignia or allegorical imagery on the reverse. The recipient’s name, “W. Marshall,” is impressed on the rim of each medal, confirming authenticity and original issuance. The medals are representative of the recognition given to Merchant Navy personnel for their contributions during World War I, particularly for service under hazardous conditions at sea. This group provides insight into the historical context of civilian maritime operations during wartime and reflects the British government’s approach to honoring non-combatant service. The medals present with original ribbons, displaying typical period wear.
