bt. Mrs I. Allen, March 2007
The title 'Naval Aid to Greece' seems to have originated with the Earl of Sandwich in 1937 when publishing the medals in the National Maritime Museum. Forrer (BDM) suggested that it was struck by Messrs Rundell, Bridge and Rundell but Tom Stainton (annotated BHM) totally refutes this.
