Can anyone help?
 

I have had my grandfather's WW2 medals for about 5 years now. He died before I was born so I could never talk to him about it. Can anyone suggest somewhere to find out about them? He was awarded the War Medal (1939-1945), the Defence Medal and 1939-1945 Star. These are the only things I have to link him to me apart from his wedding ring which was given to me.

Any assistance is very welcome.

I would suggest finding out which service he was in and then requesting his service record.I did this for my wife's great uncle who was as air gunner.It will give you a good idea as to his unit,dates and decorations.The rest is then up to you.

Sorry I can't help you

But I do honour your Grandfather's service to his country :up:
