Superb WW1 & WW2 Father & Daughter Group.
A very interesting group of original photographs and medals belonging to a Father and Daughter serving through both world wars.
A WW1 British war and victory medal pair to Louis J Adams who served with the British Red Cross & St John of Jerusalem as a Hospital Orderly in France from February 1917 to April 1919. He was aged 46 when he joined, this was probably the only way he could get into the war at the time, being an older man. His address at the time was in Malvern, Worcestershire. These were sometimes unqualified men who did most of the donkeywork around the hospital or clearing station, but most got close to the sick and wounded of their ward and became invaluable to them, running errands, supplying paper and writing material, cigarettes etc, so they helped with morale as well.
This pair of medals are in very good order, the victory medal still retains most of its gilt finish and they come mounted as worn.
WW2 1939-45 star and the 1939-45 war medal to 2013834 Beryl Kathleen Maiden (nee Adams) of the Women's Auxiliary Air Force, she enlisted in the May of 1941 and served until the war ended in 1945. She married during the war to Bob Maiden, a Radio Ops Sergeant.
Her medals come in named box of issue, addressed to Sussex, but with a change of address to Malvern Worcestershire. RAF badge & Buttons etc.
This lot comes with a quantity of original WW2 photographs of her, including one of her marriage, which shows her father to right hand side.
A really lovely untouched lot, ready for research, comes with copy of Louis Adams medal index card and also a copy of his BRCS service index cards and Forces War Records info on Kathleen Maiden, which confirms her maiden name etc.
