I'd like to take a closer look at his medal set. He's got a 39/45 Star, an Aircrew Europe Star and a War Medal. The one at the front is pre-war for his Army service on the NW Frontier.
Does anybody know which sqns he was on and precisely when? I'm a bit surprised that he doesn't have a Defence Medal. As a flight engineer, he probably trained at St Athan.
