Justin,

Agreed but how would that time honoured ritual of splitting the medals between the children work in this instance?

Kind regards

I don't think it matters. It might matter to a medal collector but not necessarily to the family. If he was proud of his service and proud of his family then I would applaud his decision to split up his medals.

Has anyone seen a similar group on sale or in a museum?
