R A F Long Service Medal...
« on: Friday 16 January 26 21:41 GMT (UK) »
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.
Frank

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.
