Mystery Trailer
Can the experts here have a look at the following link on Ebay and give an opinion. I have difficulty in believing this is a genuine WW2 version of an Airborne trailer.

High sea fleet war badge (weak strike 5th port hole type)
Hello one and all, thought you may just like a look at this HIGH SEA FLEET WAR BADGE as it has the rare weak strikeing of the 5th port hole! It is a cracking early tomback version with 99% of it’s gold wash still present. If you look at the close up of the portholes you can clearly see the rectangular impression of the 5th porthole unlike the fakes that are cast which have it completely missing or it is round from where a nail or alike has been used to create another porthole.Also the fakes cannot get close to reproducing the small "pimples" which run arond the reverse bottom edge underneath the manufacturers details. I hope these pictures are usefull.

Medal Grouping of Y2C Robert McCullough Leader
Hi All,
Thought I would share this latest medal grouping. I acquired this from the grandson of the vet. Not an exciting group by any means in terms of the medals themselves, however still a solid representation of a man who served in the US Navy in WWII.
Thought I would share this latest medal grouping. I acquired this from the grandson of the vet. Not an exciting group by any means in terms of the medals themselves, however still a solid representation of a man who served in the US Navy in WWII.
Below are the details on the vet:
Robert McCullough Leader
DOB - 6/28/1926
DOD - 8/25/1998
US Navy Reserves
Enlisted - 7/5/1943 (Age 17)
Discharged - 6/5/1946
During this enlistment, he served on-board the USS Vestal. He was first received on this ship on 5/3/1944. The Vestal was a repair ship that traveled around the Pacific repairing various naval ships during and after battles. The Vestal was also at Pearl Harbor and was docked alongside the Arizona during the attacks.
Robert would have been on-board the Vestal while it made repairs to vessels involved in the invasions on Iwo Jima and Okinawa.
Robert made a few rank/rate advancements while on-board:
5/3/1944 - S2C (Seaman 2nd Class)
2/1/1945 - S1C (Seaman 1st Class)
7/1/1945 - Y3C (Yeoman 3rd Class)
1/1/1946 - Y2C (Yeoman 2nd Class)
I show that he reenlisted in 1950, I assume for Korea, however no specific details:
Enlisted - 8/7/1950
Discharged - 10/1/1951
BIRLS File
The medals themselves were glued to a terry cloth which in turn was glued to a piece of cardboard. Some time and patience and I was able to remove the medals. Unfortunately, they weren’t taken care of very well as evident by their condition:
Fronts
Reverse
On the reverse of the cardboard was this letter from NPRC. I’m fairly certain the accompanying letter is a result of Robert receiving replacement medals. This is also evident by the later version Good Conduct Medal.
Finally, included was this photo of the USS Vestal with a nice camo scheme..
