Sergeant Dey enlisted on 15 January 1940 and served throughout the war with the Royal Engineers in a specialist port and repair unit, work that was vital to the success of Allied operations following the liberation of North West Europe. His post-war service testimonial describes him as an exemplary, industrious and trustworthy NCO, with strong organisational and mechanical ability, particularly in transport and vehicle maintenance roles.
A standout Royal Engineers group, combining medals, original packaging, official paperwork and a rich personal collection of wartime artefacts. An excellent opportunity to acquire a research-ready, display-worthy WW2 grouping with clear identity and strong narrative content.
