RFR LS&GC Officially impressed: “SSX 28731 L. Walker Dev B. 18590 P.O. R.F.R.”
Nice matching WW2 group with wear over the years, some slight rubbing to RFR LSGC due to wear. Arctic Star an original issue in near mint condition, as issued over 60 years after the others.
Leslie Walker was awarded the Royal Fleet Reserve Long Service Good Conduct Medal on 17th February 1954 with the Devonport Division as a Petty Officer.
While there is no confirmation that he was awarded the Arctic star, the group was purchase as is from a small auction in the UK so probably came from his family and World War 2 ship service currently unresearched, but his service file can likely be claimed by an FOI request to the Records Office, the first number on his RFR LSGC was his original Navy Service Number.
