Capt. Hall was awarded, for wartime service, the 1939-45 Star, Africa Star, Italy Star, France & Germany Star, British War Service Medal 1939–45 (with Dispatches Oak Leaves); the General Service Medal (1918) for small conflicts 1918-1962 (for TJFF service in Middle East) & Territorial Force Efficiency Medal (after 12 years' service in Territorial Force) - these not included in this lot. For illustrative purposes an image of another TJFF officer of Captain's rank dressed in tropical Regiment Dress is included in this description - hard to find such portraits in detail but it reveals much of the regalia worn. Note: as this lot includes a knife the lot will be shipped from the UK to the winning bidder (that person is responsible to ensure that he/she can receive this item in the mail).
