Royal Marine Forces Volunteer Reserve L.S. & G.C., E.II.R., 2nd issue (RMV. 200384 M. E. A. Wine, Sgt. R.M.F.V.R.) some contact marks, very fine, scarce £100-140

The Royal Marine Forces Volunteer Reserve was formed in 1948. Members of the force could earn the L.S. & G.C. Medal after 15 years service, with former time in the R.M. or R.F.R. allowed to count provided the same time had not been used to count towards another L.S. & G.C. medal. In October 1966 the title of the R.M.F.V.R. was changed to the Royal Marines Reserve.
