A FIRST AND SECOND WORLD WAR GROUP TO THE R.A.F./R.F.C.
A group of five miniatures comprising British War Medal, Victory Medal, Territorial Forces War Medal, War Medal 1939-45 and Imperial Service Medal, mounted as worn. With unmounted full size Victory medal named to 35432 1.A.M. H.V. Bullbrook. R.A.F. War Medal unnamed and Imperial Service Medal named to Harold Victor Bullbrook. Also a 1910-35 souvenir in box of issue.
Records show that Harold Bullbrook enlisted as a civilian in the Royal Flying Corps on 3rd July 1916 where he worked as a rigger on aeroplanes, he later transferred into the R.A.F. from the British Army having enlisted for the duration of the war with a seniority date of March 1st 1918. The R.A.F. being formed on the 1st of April 1918 it is likely that Bullbrook was amongst the first to join, indeed according to family recollection he was 6th or 7th to join the newly formed unit.
