Two medals and a cap badge-Question

[Neil B]

I recently obtained two WW1 medals and a cap badge(I think it's from the second world war or later).

The Victory medal is named to Pte.R.Blundell.Middlesex Regt
As can hopefully be noted from the photograph,it's in very good condition

The British War medal is for DVR.J.F.Malins R.A.
It has a really stunning patina and is again in great condition

The cap badge is for the Royal Armoured Corps and was dug up by my dad many years ago.
It's in good condition considering that it had years of muck on it and has came up quite nicely following cleaning.


I would like to ask the forum for an approximate value for these-I don't collect WW1 and can't afford to branch out in this direction so don't plan on hanging onto these long-term.

Thanks,Neil

Can't see a number for your man Malins, but 41706 Driver James Francis Malins of the RHA / RFA was KIA France & Flanders 21/9/17.

Born & enlisted at Liverpool.
(One other J. Malins listed, a James Malins of 6 KSLI).

Re. Blundell:
1 x Reginald Victor,
1 x Richard,
5 x Robert,
none of them shown as Middlesex Regt.

Above details from "Soldiers DIed".

A check on line with the CWGC will yield a bit more info on Malins.

How stupid! forgot to put the serial no's down.

Yes,JF Malins is 41706
The Victory medal is numbered PW-3167

Thanks Leigh!

PS,is KSLI the Kings Liverpool?
(again,I'm sorry about my terrible ignorance here-I know far more about our enemies in the World War's than the Military in my own country).

KSLI is Kings Shropshire Light Infantry.You've done better than basic with the Victory Medal as well - the PW will be for Public Works Battalion.

Just checked Soldiers Died - no trace of a R Blundell who had any service with the Middlesex Regt.
