Ever since the end of the Second World War men who served on ships, both naval and merchant, which were involved in the transport of war materials to north Russia between 1941 and 1945 have sought recognition for their service with an appropriate campaign medal. They have failed to achieve this through a complicated muddle of government policy, ignorance and cold-heartedness.

Victor Aloysius Jean-Baptiste Marchesi was born in London on 25 January 1914 and was educated at St. Joseph's in Norwood before joining the Merchant Navy. He later served fifteen months as fourth mate on RRS Discovery in 1936–7. He returned to a country preparing for the possibility of war, and joined the Royal Navy as a Sub-Lieutenant specialising in hydrographic survey. While serving as First Lieutenant on HMS Franklin surveying waters off southeast England in 1943, he received a signal requesting him to report to Lieutenant Commander Jimmy Marr at the Admiralty.
