The group is attributed to Battery Quartermaster Sergeant Hall, who served with the 91st Field Regiment, Royal Artillery, a Territorial Army unit associated with the 5th Infantry Division. The regiment saw extensive active service throughout the war, providing vital artillery support across multiple major theatres.

The medals include:

  • 1939–1945 Star – for early operational service
  • Atlantic Star – for service connected to the Battle of the Atlantic
  • Italy Star – for service in the Italian Campaign, including the fighting at Battle of Monte Cassino
  • France and Germany Star – for service in North-West Europe
  • Defence Medal – for non-operational service
  • War Medal 1939–1945 – for full-time wartime service

The 91st Field Regiment was mobilised in 1939 and initially deployed to France with the British Expeditionary Force. Following evacuation and reorganisation, it served in the North African campaign before taking part in the Allied advance through Italy, including operations around Monte Cassino. As a field artillery regiment equipped with 25-pounder guns, it played a key role in supporting infantry assaults and engaging enemy positions.

In the later stages of the war, the regiment was deployed to North-West Europe. By March 1945, it was operating under XXX Corps and took part in the Rhine crossing during the final Allied advance into Germany.

The group therefore reflects a highly experienced artillery NCO with confirmed service in:

  • North Africa
  • Italy (including Monte Cassino)
  • North-West Europe (Belgium and Germany)

The medals are mounted as worn on their original bar and display an even, attractive patina. The ribbons show light age-related wear consistent with period use.

Bombardier Wardle (service number 2127923) served with the 4th Regiment, Royal Horse Artillery, a mobile artillery unit supporting armoured and infantry formations during the Allied campaign in North-West Europe. He was killed in action on 26 October 1944 during the fighting in the Netherlands, a period associated with intense operations following the advance from Normandy and the battles to secure key approaches into Germany.

WWII British Medal Group to Royal Engineers Sapper, Normandy 1944, with Service Book (Engine Driver)

Authentic British Second World War medal group of three, awarded to 14253819 Sapper Walter Clarke, Royal Engineers, comprising the 1939–1945 Star, France and Germany Star, and War Medal 1939–1945, accompanied by his original Army Book 64 (Soldier’s Service and Pay Book).

The group is fully attributable, with the service book confirming Clarke’s personal details, enlistment, trade, and wartime service. He enlisted on 6 August 1942 and was employed as an engine driver, having previously worked as an LMS fireman (locomotive), indicating specialist railway or transport-related skills.

The award of the France and Germany Star confirms operational service in North-West Europe. The service book records his deployment to Normandy on 17 August 1944, placing him in the theatre shortly after the Allied breakout from the Normandy beachhead and during the rapid advance across France.

As a member of the Royal Engineers, Clarke would have been engaged in essential logistical and infrastructure duties, likely including railway operation, transport coordination, and the repair or construction of key supply routes supporting front-line forces. Such roles were critical to maintaining the momentum of Allied operations following the Normandy landings.

The medals are mounted together and display a natural patina, with ribbons showing light age-related wear consistent with period use. The accompanying service book is well preserved and provides valuable insight into the soldier’s background and wartime role.

A solid and fully attributable Royal Engineers group with clear Normandy service and good research potential.
