An impressive post-War C.B., 1945 C.B.E. group of ten mounted miniature dress medals attributed to Commodore J. M. Dick, Royal Naval Volunteer Reserve, a long-served 'Wavy Navy' officer who displayed great bravery and a 'mention' for his work in destroying the Secret papers aboard H.M.S. Attack when she was torpedoed and sunk in December 1917

Dick rose to become Commander in Edinburgh Division of the R.N.V.R. by the outbreak of the Second World War, he would surely have been inspired and reminded of former actions against the enemy in the latter conflict - serving at Attack once again - this time the Coastal Forces Base at Portland, before taking up the appointment as ADC to the King, his final decoration coming as Solicitor to the Secretary of State for Scotland
