MBE Register

[4bee]

Good morning. (well it is here )

Thanks for the responses so far. My wife will follow up on the NA suggestion, but oddly, the IWM didn't mention that one but it looks as though it may certainly help. Thank you, Rich.

Paul, we have the London Gazette details, but apart from giving his Reg. No. & vague details, is not a lot of help. The Heading Entry for all the recipients only gives general info ie. "Outstanding Service in NW Europe......".

But, as we have confirmed details now anything is possible.

We will also contact the Corps Museum & Asscoiation, so fingers crossed.

It was all a bit sad really.
After his death in the mid-North of South Australia a few years ago, a lot of his stuff was tossed out by a then uncaring spouse & his Medal Bar was found secreted in a hole in a stone wall of the cottage.
Carefully hidden it may have been, but fortunately it was found by a caring Grand daughter. Why was it concealed? Who knows? Safe keeping generally? Thievery by said spouse & being flogged off or given away as she seemed to do with all the artefacts of a life time of travel? He would have known this was likely to happen.

As I said, all a bit sad.

Thanks for the assistance so far.
