Hi Penzance

The MoD medal office at RAF Innsworth should be able to advise the son of his father's entitlement http://www.veterans-uk.info/medals/claiming.html

Hi penzance

If the son follows the link Casalguidi gave back to the home page and then clicks the A-Z and goes to S for Service Records.......and then follows that link he can see that the next of kin can also obtain Raymonds service record, if they so wish
