Service No: 376421
Unit No: 2/17th
Corps/Service:
Army Service Corps
Country: United Kingdom
Searching for my Grandfather's missing First World War medals. His name was William J.G. KEYS and he served in the British Army during the Great War. My grandfather was awarded the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. The missing medals were last seen around 1975 when he passed away. It was thought the medals were passed on to one of the Local R.S.L. branches in the Parramatta area of New South Wales at the time. I have conducted my own search but have had no luck there. I would be fantastic to have these missing war service back in the family once again, especially with the Centenary of the First World War in 2014. The British War Medal and Victory Medal should be impressed with the service number and name:- 376421 W.J.G. Keys A.S.C. or similar. The letters "A.S.C" denote 'Army Service Corps'.
W.REDDING
Medal Type: Other Medal Type - Distinguished Flying Medal
Service No: 1852346
Unit No: 626
Corps/Service:
Air Force/Flying Corps
Country: United Kingdom
I'm looking for my grandfather's Second World War medals, which included the DFM (Distinguished Flying Medal). His DFM may be impressed W.REDDING and it may be mounted with the 1939-1945 Star, Air Crew Europe Star, Defence Medal and 1939-1945 War Medal. My grandfather's first name was William (Bill). He didn't have a middle name. He was born on 02/01/1907 in Buckinghamshire, United Kingdom. By RAF standards, he was actually quite old, comparatively, when he volunteered for service in November 1943. He was aged 36 and had two young children at the time of his enlistment. He spent most of his service with 626 Squadron at Wickenby in Lincolnshire and was a rear gunner in a Lancaster. Between November 1943 and May 1944 he and his crew flew approximately 180 hours and 30 operational sorties. He was relatively unusual in that he was chosen to receive his DFM at Buckingham Palace. I have just discovered that the medal set was sold by my uncle a few years ago. I would appreciate any information that would help return the Distinguished Flying Medal and any other related medals back to my family.
Thankyou.
