Herbert Henry Shillito entered service with the Royal Household in June 1893, during the reign of Queen Victoria. Awarded the Royal Household Faithful Service Medal in June 1913, he is noticeably further entitled to the Romanian Decoration for Good Service and the Prussian Medal of Merit - though it is almost certain that these were disposed of upon the outbreak of the Great War. Shillito was further awarded the Royal Victorian Medal on 3 June 1925 as First Yeoman of the Silver Pantry; sold together with typed research.
