You are not wrong, I wonder if either of the chaps was a Special. Cheers, mate

It's a cross between that and the British Fire Service Association Commendation Medal.

It looks like a Special Constabulary medal though the black stripes are a bit too narrow.

Is it not a faded Defence Medal ribbon?

Quite probable looking at the width of the stripes. Nice one, thanks That must relate to the Essex badge.

Thanks Brian, I have the items now and I am pleasantly surprised by the badges. The two West Riding badges are maker marked FN BHam, the RA is a nice worn example with a reinforced crown.
There is paperwork that goes with the badges, the family are keeping those I think the medal ribbon is a Defence Medal, the back looks like it may be slightly green. I will see in daylight.
