Thought I would add this as a potential relative given the unusual forename for other researchers;

This is not the 'C or Cooper Young' mentioned!

At a later date Cooper Young was living at 9 Salesbury St, Sunderland & father deceased i.e. it's likely his mother's name would be on his attestation papers?

I haven't looked for her death.

It looks like the "Royal Tent" ceased being a public house before 1871.
In the 1871 Census 18 Warren Street was occupied by Jane Beacroft, a Boarding House Keeper.
In the 1881 Census 18 Warren Street was occupied by Robert Harrison General Dealer, in 1891 the property was occupied by two families, Robert Harrison's family in 4 rooms and Nicholas Young's family in 2 rooms.
This is the Young Family in the 1901 Census at 18  Warren Street
Nicholas Young    35
Mary Ann Young 36
Beatrice Mary Young 10
Nicholas Harrison Young 8
Thos Butler Young 4
Isabella Young    2
Charles Johnson Young    6/12
and this is the other family at 18 Warren Street
Mary Ann Butler 61
Elizabeth Butler 31 Daughter
Robert Harrison 60 Brother
Lily Young 12 Grand Daughter

So it looks as though the two families were related.

The death of Charles Johnson Young, age 75,  was registered in Sunderland in the Dec ¼ 1975.
In the 1914 Directory Elizabeth Butler is the shopkeeper.

Thank you Rosinish and Stan your research has been most helpful!

Also stan's map showing the royal Tent on the same street as the king's head hotel all but confirms the street in the photo I provided is the right address.

It's about now linking the medal we have to Charles Johnson Young and his reasons for its award, and hopefully find if he was a crew member of the Avristan.

Stan, one last request if I may ask, if you can find a relation between Albert Young and Charles J. Young?

Jack Curtis informed me him and Albert were 10-11 years old when they knew each at the end of WWII in which the photo I showed was taken. Jack said he and Albert played cricket in the area in front of Warren Street which the photo was took.
