WW1 Medal Trio to Nurse Hollingum V.A.D. Served HMHS.

WW1 Trio awarded to Nurse Muriel Hollingum of the Voluntary Aid Detachment.
Muriel Hollingum was born in Poplar London on June 15th 1884; she was one of five children born to Spencer and Hanna Hollingum, Spencer a Clerk and Emma a School teacher.
Muriel was quick to volunteer for the red cross as her medal index card states she was serving on Hospital ships on the 15th December 1915; although it is not unique to see a VAD on a Hospital ship, it is quite scarce, so this lady is worthy of much more research.
It must have been while she was serving with the VAD that she met her husband and married captain Henry Charles Roberts of the Royal Army Medical Corps in the July of 1916.
Captain Roberts served in Mesopotamia from 11th February 1917 and his full medal entitlement is the WW1 British war and victory medal pair.
All three medals are in very good condition but do have contact marks from where they have been mounted and worn, the BWM has a slightly different style of naming to that of the victory medal, but the BWM has no loss of metal to the rim or has any file marks from re-naming. A superb trio in need of much more research to make this lady’s history come to life, in good order and all three are mounted on replacement ribbons.
