New arrivals

[CINDERS]

These arrived today totally took me by surprise as the DOD said it would be December before they arrived so I only contacted them in December 2021, so that's pretty much light speed in my opinion.
The 2 additional medals my father was entitled to was the Australian Service Medal 1945-1975 with clasp & Bar and the 1939 - 1945 Star.

I have a trio the same as my dads that my brother brought in Qld 40 odd years ago guess he wore these instead of dads, so he passed away and I ended up with them.
So now I have contacted a provider that can legally do copies of all my fathers medals mount them in the correct order, so when I go on marches the real medals are in the safe at home.

It opened a raw patch seeing them knowing that it was in recognition for his service to this country and to the whole thing that was WWII.
He may not have been right at the pointy end but was close enough the Japs bombed the airfield he was stationed at he said it was not a nice thing.
My mum did her bit by becoming a munitions worker sadly I do not have her badge it being lost in the aftermath of my dads death.

For my Dad 1913 - 1985 Sic Itur Ad Astra
