Here is an interesting and rare trio to a member of the Royal Navel Division which took part in the battle of Antwerp in 1914.
Stars to the division are unique as can be seen below.
The reason being that they where named in a different style of impressing, it looks like that they where engraved but they really are impressed.
The 1914 star is named to L10/2652 B.V. HEGARTY A.B.R.N.VR. DRAKE BTTN R.N.D.
The War and victory medals are impressed, PAYR. S. LT.B.V. HEGARTY. R.N.R.
The medals are mounted on a old bar with a silver rosette indicating entitlement to the Mons Bar.
I have managed to find his enlisted man records but as He was commissioned I will have to dig deeper to find his Navel Officers record
Many thanks, Gareth
