Maybe I can find something here to stump you yet.

Fairly representative group of medals; 39-45 Star, Atlantic Star, Italy Star, Defence Medal, 39-45 War Medal, and C.V.S.M. (Canadian Volunteer Service Medal, with overseas clasp, also known as the Spam medal or E.B.G.O. for Every Bastard's Got One! (hope I got them right, I'm working from memory!) The Atlantic Star increases the possibility of the original owner of these medals to have been Navy, which goes along with what we've been discussing. Too bad you don't know more about the original owner, any Naval Air Service type who served in the Atlantic, especially with a France and Germany clasp, would certainly have some stories to tell!
CHIMO!
Ooops, just rechecked your pic, got the last two in the wrong order!
