seaJane Posted 18 January , 2012 Share Posted 18 January , 2012 Sorry this isn't as clear as it might be, but I don't normally take my camera to work - had to make do with my phone... This bar of miniatures fell out of a box in the office safe. No sign of the full-size ones. No name related to them, except, very very possibly, Hankin. Probability is that they were issued to a surgeon, RN. Is there any way that he can be traced through back-tracking the medals? I can spot the usual GW trio.

simonharley Posted 18 January , 2012 Share Posted 18 January , 2012 Straight off, he's got the C.M.G. and the D.S.O., which should help narrow him down. I'll have a look-see. Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

seaJane Posted 18 January , 2012 Author Share Posted 18 January , 2012 Aha. That matches - another set of medals in the same box. Which is useful, but probably not these (I'll double-check tomorrow). If on the other hand there is any sign of HJJH being awarded the CMG and DSO... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ken Lees Posted 18 January , 2012 Share Posted 18 January , 2012 For the expert view, I would post this query on the British Medal Forum, if I were you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 18 January , 2012 Author Share Posted 18 January , 2012 I did look at that - but do they also cover foreign medals awarded to Britons? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grantowi Posted 18 January , 2012 Share Posted 18 January , 2012 HJJH was placed on the retired list 28/10/1927 as a Cd Wardmaster Grant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Bulloch Posted 18 January , 2012 Share Posted 18 January , 2012 seajane. The foreign medals are I think? Turkish with cresent moon and star, the one second from the right is an Osmanie Order, and third from the right is The order of Medjid. I could be way off on this, but I am sure a forum member will come up with the correct answer for you. Aye Rob. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 18 January , 2012 Author Share Posted 18 January , 2012 Rob, thanks, and to everyone else. I wonder who might have been awarded that particular combination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Staffsyeoman Posted 20 January , 2012 Share Posted 20 January , 2012 There is one I cannot pin down - more research ongoing - but.. left to right Companion of St Michael and St George (CMG) Distinguished Service Order (DSO 1914-15 Star Trio with a Mention in Dispatches Order of the Nile 5th Class Order of the Medijide, 4th Class Order of Osmanieh, 4th Class Khedive's Sudan Medal 1896-1908 with Clasp As he has two Turkish Orders and and Egyptian Order and an Egyptian campaign Medal - without an accompanying British campaign medal - must be for some service (loan? attach?) prior to WW1. There must be some trace of permission to wear in records. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
auchonvillerssomme Posted 20 January , 2012 Share Posted 20 January , 2012 I think it is a narrow period you are looking at for the senior awards, there are no jubilee or coronation medals. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staffsyeoman Posted 20 January , 2012 Share Posted 20 January , 2012 I'm starting to feel that Hankin is a red herring. 1. No CMG DSO after his name in two post-WW1 entries in the LG 2. Those grades of Orders appear too high for the time for a non-officer... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
