It comprises of 1939/45 star, France and Germany star, the Defence medal and the 1939/45 war medal. all medals come in box of issue named to; Mr E. J. Wilson 37 Clarmont Road Headingley Leeds. (To Father, I believe) Various photographs of Lance Corporal Wilson including a wedding photo when he married Dorothy. And the kings letter of condolence to Mrs D. M. Wilson (Wife), this is mounted in a small frame and it is now a little faded.
I am sorry to say, I possess no WW2 regimental history on the Coldstream Guards, but with just a little research I can say that they were mobilized in 1939 and were present at Dunkirk. They later went on to serve with the Guards Armoured Division in northern Europe with the BEF until the end of the war. Bruce Wilson is remembered with honour at the Jonkerbos war cemetery in Holland. The Netherlands fell to the Germans in May 1940 and was not re-entered by Allied forces until September 1944. Nijmegen was a front line town from 17 September 1944 until February 1945. An initial temporary cemetery was created by No. 3 Casualty Clearing station, in a wooded area known as Jonkers Bosch, from which the cemetery took its name.
Lance corporal Bruce Wilson died of his wounds on 30th September 1944. Nijmegen is not as renown as Arnhem but the fighting and casualties were just as horrific. The Allies' primary goal was to capture the two bridges over the Waal River at Nijmegen, the road route over the Waalbrug (Waal Bridge) and Nijmegen railway bridge, to relieve the British 1st Airborne Division and Polish 1st Independent Parachute Brigade at Arnhem, 10 miles north of Nijmegen. The Allied infantry units at Arnhem were surrounded by German forces, and involved in heavy fighting for control of bridges over the Rhine.
Delays caused by hastily organised German reinforcements at Nijmegen, ultimately led to the failure of Operation Market Garden. It took the Allies longer than expected to secure a land route to Arnhem, where the British and Polish forces were forced south of the Rhine and sustained massive casualties and prisoners of war.
All medals are in near mint condition and look as if they have never been out of the box.
