Single Campaign Medals, Naval General Service Medal 1915-62, EIIR, Dei Gratia, one clasp, Near East, Impressed naming (R.M.V. 202453 J. Meichan. Mne. R.M.), very fine Scarce to a Royal Marine Reserve, a note states that Marine Meichan served with 42 Commando as part of 3 Commando Brigade during Operation Musketeer. In 1952 the Admiralty decided to institute a system to indicate whether or not a Reservist was a National Serviceman. The prefix “RMV” followed by a five figure number indicates that a man became a Reservist either prior to the establishment of National Service or after his National Service. The prefix “RM(V)9”, followed by a five figure number, indicates that a man was a Reservist during whole-time National Service. The prefix “RM V 9”, followed a five figure number, indicates that a man was a Reservist during part-time National Service. On 1 July 1955, all but one of these prefixes (“RMV”) were abolished and all Reservists, whether serving on, or discharged before that date, were allocated a new number with the “RMV” prefix. To prevent duplication, this new series had six figures beginning at 200000.

Mayell, 1st Battalion the Wiltshire Regiment: General Service Medal 1918-62, EIIR Dei Gratia, one clasp Cyprus (23367937 Pte. C. Mayell. Wilts.), very fine As part of Britain's post-war reduction, each infantry regiment was required to reduce its strength by one battalion. In the case of the Wiltshire Regiment, this meant amalgamating the 1st and 2nd battalions. This was done on 10 January 1949, while the regiment was part of BAOR. For the remainder of its existence, the Wiltshires would remain a one battalion regiment. After the end of the Second World War, the Wiltshire regiment would add one more campaign to its list. Although initially earmarked to be sent to Malaya during the Emergency, the Wiltshire's orders were changed whilst en-route and they joined the Hong Kong garrison in 1950. After returning home to Britain in 1953, the Wiltshires were ready for foreign-service once more; their final campaign as an independent regiment came in 1956, when it deployed to Cyprus as reinforcements for the British garrison during the Cyprus Emergency. The battalion, deployed in response to EOKA attacks which escalated in 1955, remained in Cyprus until its return home where on the 9th June 1959 it amalgamated with The Royal Berkshire Regiment (Princess Charlotte of Wales’s) to form The Duke of Edinburgh’s Royal Regiment (Berkshire and Wiltshire).
