How do you track down info on OBE

[Phil Waterman]

Hi All

Though not a direct relative I would like to track down information on Walter B. Beardesford-Redmann as I understand it he was awarded an OBE for his service in managing shipping out of the port of New York during the WWII.

I've tried over the years to track this information without success but with more information available through the web it is time to try again.

When I say not a direct relative Mr Redmann owned my HUP from 1946 until 1978 some 32 years. In talking with his daughter it seems the truck was always a part of the family as she was growing up, she learned to drive in it. I've now owned it for 31 years and the HUP has definitely been a member of my family. So related by or through a HUP.
