I'd forgotten that the VC holder was awarded the jubillee medals. I was on parade with the son of a VC holder from the First War at the Cenotaph in November. He was proudly wearing his father's medals - VC and the 3 Great War Medals. He didn't have any of the coronation or jubillee medals. Will send him a message to ask if his father had them but didn't mount the medals or didn't get them.
