    Having been trying to look into my Dads service in ww2 and hit a few dead ends it has been suggested I try kew, to find what medals my Dad was entitled to being as he never wanted them, but having checked online it seems they dont cover ww2 any ideas?

    Three come to my mind:

    1939-1945 Star
    1945 Victory Medal
    The Defence Medal

    Sorry Skipper, I did not word it right, I know Dad would be entitled to those you mentioned as well as the Burma Star question is where can I find that info on a medal roll hopefully giving me a service number.

    Hi wtid45

    I am also going though the same process as yourself. I am trying to find out which medals my late grandfather is entitled too. If you wouldnt mind can you keep this updated on how you get on. I am about to send a letter to RAF Innswkrth with a request to find out which medals I am able to apply on, on his bahalf.

    Thanks for your time.
