Thanks(Bummer) Peter do you know just what is the process of doing that WD for KRRC

as we are in OZ hard but there are many forum members that do look ups in the UK

I want to mount up his medals ..not sure to add a C de G or not. the amount of medals is correct if you include the c de g on one of the newspaper clippings but cant quite see if the french dec is there.

Cheers MC
