How do you track down info on OBE

[Phil Waterman]

Hi Robert

I tried twice to send the info so let me know if e-mail comes through this time.

If not here is the biographical info I have -

Here is the info on the person who I’m trying to track down the OBE award information on, this is from my web site. 1946- Truck purchased as surplus by Walter B. Beardesford-Redmann who was a shipping executive with the Canard Lines in New York City. During the war he served as Director of Transport, Port of New York, for the British Ministry of Transport, he was awarded an OBE for his service. He purchased it for use on his farm/retirement home in up-state New York town of Salem. He later moved to Indian Head Farms, West Rupert, Vermont. The HUP was licensed for the road from '46 to '72 and was used by he and his family during that period accumulating approximately 25000 miles in 26 years. The only major repair was the replacement of a cracked cylinder head in 1960.
