WWI/WWII Bomber Command & Caterpillar Club family group

Offered is a World War I and World War II family group consisting of. WWI trio of Mons Star, War and Victory medals with miniatures. The names on these medals have been erased and I assume they were replacements sourced by the recipient. World War II War, Defence and 1939-45 Star awarded to Flight Sgt 1503619 E Williams. Also included are his ID bracelet, Caterpillar Club membership card and Caterpillar pin (this named to him on the reverse).

Basic research shows F/Sgt Williams as being part of 51 Squadron based at RAF Snaith. He was onboard a Mk II Halifax bomber (serial number BE244) when it crashed during a mission on at 2146 hours on 29-30/03/1943. The crash was at Delden in Holland and he was taken prisoner of war by the Germans. He spent the rest of the war in Stalag 357 and his POW number was 42731.

There is a Defence medal and Special Constabulary pair, with long service bars for 1948 and 1954, to 1215 Charlie Williams of the North Riding Constabulary (Yorkshire). A 1937 Coronation medal (possibly also to Charlie but un-named), a WWI Services Rendered badge, a WWI 1916 On War Service badge and an MID rosette. Medal boxes are present for Charlie and E Williams.

The box to E Williams was delivered to 35 Birch St, Jarrow. A nice group with plenty of scope for further research.
