Hi,

Very true, there seems to be lots of different ideas on the internet, perhaps look to see if there are any professional Book Binders in your area who could offer sound advice.

How kind of Ralph_Tudor to bother to search for the family and make contact with nanny jan :)

There is something immensely satisfying regarding returning something to a family, I have done it on several occasions with WWI medals and Silver War Badges ( One of which was done through RootsChat.
It makes your heart smile.................

Hi Daisypetal, thank you so much for that, I did try Ancestry but could not find any results, I will purchase credits and take a look.

Once again, thank you so much for this, and my very best regards always.

Hi, just a quick question, is it possible to trace details of a member of the RAF from a Long Service Medal:

Sgt G Lawrence 508300,

Or is the only way through the National Archive?

Many thanks and as always my very best regards.

i was amused to note his nickname "Swanky Syd" when trying to determine his whereabouts when the MM was presented.

Seems he was a bit of a character..........

Just a bit of trivia.
According to research, General Sir S Lawford was the father of Peter Lawford, the actor. (For those of a certain age  ;) )


I'm saying nothing  ;D
