1127288 Gunner Kirkman K, Royal Artillery, Theatre of Operations - North West Europe. LG 4/4/46 page 1683.

 

Many thanks - I take it no details available?

PZULBA - Out of Africa (Retired)

 

Many thanks - I take it no details available?

No, sorry.

 

Hopefully this offer still stands - Harold Taylor 6352689 of the Life Guards, I cant see him in the LG but has has an Oak Leaf amongst his loose ribbons and the receipt for mounting his medal also mentions an Oak Leaf.

Cheers

Alistair

 

Sorry AB64, your man isn't listed. Of note: only 17 Oak Leafs in total were awarded to the Life Guards (In the following theatres - Italy x 5, Middle East x 2 , Northwest Europe x 8 & Other x 2).

 

Thanks for checking, maybe he was helping someone else get their ribbons mounted - he even had a small section of MM ribbon in amongst all the scraps.

Cheers

Alistair

 

Hi,
Might he be listed under The Royal West Kents ? His number appears to be originally from their batch?

Kyle

 

Nope! I checked all possibilities on the original search.

 

52nd,
Can I just ask how they are listed, regimental order, by LG date etc?

And I looked them up to see what the current price is!!! Don't think my small book buying fund stretches to that much, so I might do what I have done before, get them on an interlibrary loan, only costs a maximum of £3 for 3 weeks borrowing....... cheaper than buying it!!

Thanks

Andy

 

Andy,

They are listed alphabetically, so the page is set out thus:

Army, Service Number, Surname & Given names or initials, Rank, Formation/Regiment, Theatre of Operations & London Gazette Reference.

 

Hi,
Do you have the MID of A.E.Pearce 1550213 Royal Artillery? Thanks!

 

Yes, he is registered as:

British Army, 1550213, PEARCE AE, Bombardier, Royal Artillery, Italy (theatre of operations), London Gazette 11/01/45 page 319

 

Thank you very much Skip!!!

 

Pleasure - hope that helps
