WW1 RFC / RAF Framed Group – British War & Victory Medals, Cap Badge, Buttons & Photograph (W. Thompson, Service No. 129114)

A well-presented and historically interesting framed First World War Royal Flying Corps / Royal Air Force group, attributed to W. Thompson, who served as an Aircraft Mechanic during the Great War.

The display comprises a pair of original WW1 campaign medals — the British War Medal and Victory Medal — accompanied by an RAF cap badge, two RAF buttons, and a photograph of W. Thompson, creating a cohesive and personal collection.

The inclusion of both RFC and RAF associations reflects the transitional period of 1918, when the Royal Flying Corps became part of the newly formed Royal Air Force.
