Hello Paul,
Some time ago I made you a promise that I would search WO126 for this man, I very much regret to have to tell you that after doing so, there are no attestation papers to be found, I checked and then rechecked to ensure no error on my part.
Sorry, I know that is not the result you wanted!
Regards Frank

Hello Paul,
You are welcome, I just wish the paper had been there, some you win and some you lose, on the plus side, at least I don't have to be the one to tell our New Zealand friend, his great grandfather's papers are missing, as I now have them, so all I need to do is find that post! :woohoo:
Regards Frank

Frank,
I have the medal in my possesion which is the main thing, papers would have been nice but not as important as the medal.

Thanks again
Paul :)
