Hi Leigh, I thought that, but the ribbon starts off blue, then white, not white then blue.

Ah, I thought your ribbon was the RNLSGC white/blue/white, a closer look shows it has narrow blue edging (it's blue/white/blue/white/blue).

Default ribbon

The RSPCA Margaret wheatley cross seems most likely after looking through the medal Yearbook.

Being born in 1930, despite the write up saying he was in WW2 he would not have been old enough to get the 4 WW2 medals.

Thanks mike, that’s good but it’s not him, as far as I can find out his name was
Alec cushions, ex army, then home guard, then railway engineer. Born in Norfolk. Will keep this updated when I know more

So today we have some details.
His name was Alick Bertram Cushing
Born may 1901 died 1970

I had a quick look on line about the medal, only about 70 awarded up to the present day, half of them after the people died trying to save an animal.

If anyone has any info on service number, regt, medal card etc etc that would be great.
