Campaign Service?
Did he see any overseas campaign service or was his service entirely home-based? The dates of his enlistment and retirement cover latter half of WWI and whole of WWII.Cloptonson (talk) 21:05, 17 June 2013 (UTC) I have found some answer to my own question. A picture of him on Pathe News (1953), headlined "The Army's Voice No 1", depicts him with all his medals. There are none for WWI (for which qualifying service was overseas at particular fronts except for anti-aircraft personnel who had been in action during air raids) visible. The row, left to right, show MBE, WWII Defence and War Medals (which could be earned in service within UK), George V Jubilee Medal, George VI and Elizabeth II Coronation Medals, Army Long Service and Good Conduct Medal and Meritorious Service Medal.Cloptonson (talk) 12:44, 18 June 2013 (UTC)
