Hi Welcome to the forum..

As to your Granddad's Campaign medals I would ask your parents or any aunt/uncles if they have them... As it's likely that they are lying around in a relative draw somewhere... Campaign medals for some families are pretty sentimental item's but for other families they are a chunk of metal, which I always find sad...

If you can get hold of his service records, you could always order the ribbons for each medal!

Hi Hutchie
Welcome to the forum. I'm ex TA too (although I was only a member for about four years, had to give it up when I moved to Denmark, commute was a bit long!!). :-)

Hi Hutchie, welcome to the forum
A person should have an opinion on everything, It becomes tact whether you reveal that opinion or not.
