Sadly, it seems, his war medals were sold at auction in Feb 2018: 1939-45 Star; Africa Star, 1 clasp, 8th Army; Italy Star; Defence and War Medals 1939-45, with named Army Council enclosure, in card box of issue, addressed to ‘Dr. C. St. A. Vivian, “The Glen”, Plantation Road, Leighton Buzzard, Beds’. It would seem that, with the early deaths of Graham and his brother Frank in World War 2. and their only surviving sister not marrying, the medals did not pass naturally to a family member.
