Edward VII Army Long Service and Good Conduct Medal to Lance Corporal Parfitt of the Notts & Derby Regiment. M 148. - M 148
The Army Long Service and Good Conduct Medal was instituted by King William IV in 1830. The medal remained in use for 100 years, until it was replaced by the Medal for Long Service and Good Conduct (Military) in 1930. During that time the reverse of the medal remained virtually unchanged, while the design of the obverse was altered during the reigns of Queen Victoria, King Edward VII and King George V. The Army Long Service and Good Conduct Medal was instituted by King William IV in 1830, for award to soldiers for long service and good conduct. The obverse of the original medal showed a Trophy of Arms that incorporated a central shield bearing the Royal Coat of Arms, with the House of Hanover Shield in its centre. On the Queen Victoria version, introduced after her succession to the throne in 1837, the Hanover emblem was removed from the central shield. Upon the succession of King Edward VII to the throne in 1901, his effigy was placed on the medal's obverse, followed by the effigy of King George V in 1910.

WWII Medal Group WWI Iron Cross 2nd Class on a Combatant Ribbon Military Merit Order (Württemberg) and a 1914 – 1918 Cross of Honour with Swords). N 125. - N 125
The Iron Cross was a military decoration in the Kingdom of Prussia, and later in the German Empire (1871–1918) and Nazi Germany (1933–1945). The design, a black cross pattée with a white or silver outline, was derived from the insignia of the medieval Teutonic Order and borne by its knights from the 13th century. The Military Merit Order (Militärverdienstorden) was a military order of the Kingdom of Württemberg, which joined the German Empire in 1871. The order was one of the older military orders of the states of the German Empire. It was founded on 11 February 1759 by Karl Eugen, Duke of Württemberg as the Militär-Carls-Orden, and was renamed the Militärverdienstorden on 11 November 1806 by King Friedrich I. The order underwent several more revisions over the course of the 19th and early 20th centuries. It became obsolete with the fall of the Württemberg monarchy in the wake of Germany's defeat in World War I. The medal awarded to combatants (called the Frontkämpferkreuz) displayed a laurel wreath encircling a medallion with the dates "1914- 1918", along with crossed swords between the arms. The reverse side is plain, except for the manufacturer's logo which in this case is ‘Nolle & Hueck Ludenscheid Germany. The medals are in good order and the ribbons have age related wear. The price includes UK delivery. N 125.

'Royal Service' Malaya G.S.M. Awarded to PTE G.Harwell, Coldstream Guards. M 145. - M 145
Malaya - now 'Malaysia' - was a British colony until February 1942, when it surrendered to the invading Japanese. Three years of cruel occupation followed. Britain armed and supported a Communist resistance movement known as the Malay Peoples Anti-Japanese Army (MPAJA), in the hope of diverting Japanese attention from Burma. The predominantly Chinese MPAJA strove for a Communist state in Malaya, turning on the British as soon as the war was over. Britain quickly re-established control and disbanded the MPAJA, but its members remained in the jungle with their weapons and equipment. Over the ensuing two years, Malayan Communists attacked rubber plantations and terrorised the Malayan population. A State of Emergency was declared in June 1948, and Britain sent a task force which included three Guards' battalions. Mitchell's battalion arrived at Singapore in early October and spent three weeks training in the jungle, before moving upcountry to Tapah. The Coldstream (The Coldstream Guards is the oldest continuously serving regular regiment in the British Army. As part of the Household Division, one of its principal roles is the protection of the monarchy; due to this, it often participates in state ceremonial occasions. The Regiment has consistently provided formations on deployments around the world and has fought in the majority of the major conflicts in which the British Army has been engaged) were to spend the next two years there, encamped mostly in bamboo and atap huts.
