The medal was presented to him by King George V at Buckingham Palace in the Summer of 1918.  Albert had almost fully recovered from his wounds when he caught flu in the pandemic which killed 1% of the World's population in the period immediately after the Great War. He died at Chatham Naval Hospital in October 1918 a few days after his 20th Birthday
