"This specialised three-volume set by noted medal researcher W. H. Fevyer provides a detailed reference to two of Britain's most important gallantry decorations awarded for naval and military service — the Distinguished Service Cross and the Distinguished Service Medal. Covering awards from the early twentieth century through both World Wars, the books compile recipient details, citations, service information, and historical notes in a format highly regarded by medal collectors, military historians, and researchers. Together, the volumes form an important reference library documenting acts of bravery and distinguished conduct across some of the most significant conflicts of the modern era.
The Distinguished Service Cross 1901-1938 focuses on the early history of the DSC from its institution through the interwar period, tracing awards made to naval officers and personnel for gallantry at sea. The Distinguished Service Medal 1914-1920 examines DSM awards during the First World War and immediate post-war years, documenting the extraordinary bravery of ratings and non-commissioned naval personnel during naval engagements, convoy duty, minesweeping operations, and submarine warfare. The Distinguished Service Medal 1939-1946 continues the record through the Second World War, providing an extensive account of wartime decorations awarded during one of the largest naval conflicts in history.
Compiled with meticulous research and published by respected specialist publishers including J.B. Hayward & Son and The London Stamp Exchange, these works have become standard references within the field of British militaria and medal collecting. The books are valued for their accuracy, accessibility, and usefulness in identifying medal recipients and verifying service details. Today, complete matching groups such as this are increasingly sought after by collectors of naval history, military decorations, genealogy, and British Commonwealth wartime material."
