WW2 Original & Genuine Air Crew Europe Star Medal Group of Four

WW2 Original & Genuine Air Crew Europe Star Medal Group of Four

WW2 Original & Genuine Air Crew Europe Star Medal Group of Four

WW2 Original & Genuine Aircrew Europe Group of 4. Comprising 1939-45 Star, Aircrew Europe Star, 1939-45 General Service Medal, Defence Medal – all in original waxed paper envelopes and on original ribbons which appear never to have been mounted. This group is unattributed. When I bought it from a dealer some time back it came with the flattened box in the third picture purportedly addressed to 112683 F/Sgt Gerald McGowan who was shot down in a Halifax 5th/6th October 1942 and became a PoW. However, some helpful ebayers pointed out that the G in the naming on the box had been changed from a C. The box was in fact sent to 1288419 George McCowan RAF as evidenced by the Register at picture 4 which I tracked down on Ancestry. I have not researched George McCowan as I would have to doubt that these are even his medals (box doesn’t look big enough either). Therefore I sell them as unattributed, though I will include the box for those who might want to investigate further. Still a scarce and desirable group with an original Air Crew Europe Star. Overseas please contact first. The item “WW2 Original & Genuine Air Crew Europe Star Medal Group of Four” is in sale since Sunday, January 10, 2021.

Died of wounds aged 20 in France 3rd July 1916. These were received on the first day of the Somme offensive Battle of Albert when the 1/6th was part of the 46th Division which was ordered to attack the north side of the Gommecourt salient, on the northern flank of the Somme battlefield. On 1 July, 1/6th Bn of the Notts and Derbyshire Regt. Was in support behind the attacking battalions of 139th Bde. A and B Companies took up positions in the British 1st Support Line, with the battalion bombers and four brigade machine gun teams between them, and C and D Companies were in the 3rd Support Line with the runners and signallers between them. Because of the mud, they were late getting into position and were very tired by the time they arrived, carrying large quantities of equipment and ammunition. When the battalion attempted to move up after Zero hour (07.30), it found that the way was blocked by the carrying parties and last waves of the battalions in front, which had not been able to leave the British front line trench before the smokescreen cleared. Although their first waves had crossed No man’s land and got into the German front line, the ground behind them was now being swept by artillery and machine gun fire, and positions re-occupied by Germans coming out of deep dugouts that should have been dealt with by the later waves. It was not until 08.45 that A and B Companies of the 1/6th Bn attempted to cross No man’s land, and they were immediately stopped by very heavy casualties. The Commanding Officer, Lt-Col Goodman, called off his battalion’s attack. There was an attempt to restart the attack at 15.30, but the smoke barrage was inadequate and it was cancelled. The left-hand platoon did not receive the cancellation order in time, went’over the top’ and was cut down. The battalion lost 41 men killed or died of wounds received on 1 July 1916.
