    Hi there. I'm Craig from Yorkshire, England. Just like to say hello, as this is my first post on the forum.

    I'm researching my grandfathers military history, and hope to fill in some blanks. His name was Parmenous Wilson (I know, not a common Yorkshire name).

    During WWII he was a member of the Royal Artillery (not sure which section) but I know he saw service in North Africa, and family history tells he was also in Yugoslavia training partisans. He said he received a medal called the Tito Star?? No one in the family has it, and I can't find any info on that specific medal either.

    Does anyone have any info on the medal, or know how I can find out more about his service history. Unfortunatly he died before I was born, so all I have to go on is second hand information.

    Thanks :D

    Hello and welcome to the forum! I suggest you post your queries in the information request and geneological research sections of the forum. They will get more traffic there and I am sure you will have several Rogues who offer responses.

    Cheers!
