    Default Greetings

    Hello all,

    My name is Jan van der Walt, I am from South Africa.
    I'm here to do some research and hopefully find assistance with tracing a record or two. I recently came upon a WW2 medal and am very curious about the person who received it.

    I have no record of any of my family members having fought in the war, but you never know. My wife's grandfather did serve and his medals are still in the family.

    Thanks in advance for your assistance!

    Welcome to the British-Genealogy forums Jan
    Regarding the owner of the medal if they fought in the British forces their service record will still be with the MoD so very unlikely to find any information on line unless it is something general such as the war diaries of the unit they served with.
    But pick a suitable forum and post the information you have regarding the owner and let's see if our members can help at all.
