Fascinating grouping as you are probably aware all the medals should be named.

Sadly the beret is post war as it has a fabric band not leather and the badge is of course QC. Wonder what happened to the slouch hat, I dread to think how much it would be worth......probably more than the everything you see here!

A little dismayed that the museum staff (Curator) have not checked this collection before displaying it to the public. Are the item in your image all there is, or is there a descriptive text out of the picture?

WW2 medals if named are done so privately.
