Mothers details are sketchy on his service other than Hood, Broke and Burma.
She has throughout my life expressed regret at the decision to bury with them and as she is nearing the end of her life I thought it might be nice to get a replacement set for her, and ultimately my children who can also have mine.
Probably best to obtain the service records -
information from MoD
That will/should provide the necessary information - either stating directly which medals were awarded, or giving sufficient clues for them to be identified.
