ian turner Posted 28 August , 2006 Share Posted 28 August , 2006 At first glance there does not seem to be a CWGC entry for a W T Wedge, ASC. Presumably he did survive the war. However that is not conclusive. There are inaccuracies in CWGC records, so you cannot be 100 percent sure from checking the CWGC database. Perhaps somebody will do a SDGW lookup for you, although that is also not 100 pct proof. To be more certain you will need to see his army service record at Kew, if it still exists.

hendy Posted 28 August , 2006 Author Share Posted 28 August , 2006 any one can help where this gentleman enlisted and if he served overseas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebie9173 Posted 28 August , 2006 Share Posted 28 August , 2006 It is highly likely that he served overseas unless the MIC is a Silver War Badge Medal Card with no added "stamp" M2 denotes Motor Transport. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian turner Posted 29 August , 2006 Share Posted 29 August , 2006 As Hendy has his medals I would suggest that he did indeed serve overseas. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
