I've been trying to put a commemorative montage together for my wife's grandfather, now deceased, who served in WW2.
I know he was Mentioned In Distatches for achievements in the Mediteraenean Theatre, but he sold all of his medals after he was demobed to help raise money his children. I have a rough idea what medals he's likely to have been awarded, but would like to make sure so I can re-coup duplicates and include them with what I put together.
Is there an on-line (cheap or preferably free) search facility where I can find out for sure what medals he was awaded? Or do I need to go to Kew?
Many thanks!!
Andy
<EDIT> Sorry, I've just realised that this should be in the Military bit!!
