daveavery Posted 16 January , 2009 Share Posted 16 January , 2009 Hi, this is my first post on here and was wandering if anyone had any information on this indiviual at all, I have his victory medal and done some background research, eg cwgc but he wasnt on there so i dont think he died in the war, and i have his medal index card off the national archives which is very vague. Charles E Drew Durham Light Infantry 202131 If anyone can help me on this it would be greatly apreciated, eg what division or what-not.... Thanks for reading, Dave Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The papers show he appealed re his medal award and shows he was later awarded the British and Victory Medals..,Family details also available on Ancestry.
