The ‘suffragette’ medal awarded to Miss Nellie Godfrey, who was arrested and imprisoned for throwing a missile at Winston Churchill’s car in 1909, was offered by Dix Noonan Webb on January 13.
The silver medal was enamelled in the colours of the Women’s Social and Political Union, Mrs Pankhurst’s militant wing of the Edwardian suffrage movement. It was inscribed ‘Hunger Strike’, with ‘Nellie Godfrey’ on the reverse, the suspension bar dated ‘December 7th 1909’, and a ‘For Valour’ brooch bar.
The medal’s original case was inscribed, ‘Presented to Nellie Godfrey by the Women’s Social & Political Union in recognition of a gallant action, whereby through endurance to the last extremity of hunger and hardship a great principle of political justice was vindicated.’ ....
