I have managed to find his Victory medal but would dearly like to find the remainder and reunite the group. If anyone knows of their whereabouts I would be grateful of any information.

A wonderful group representing long and distinguished service - such a pity it has been broken up. I wish you well with your quest and will keep a look out for them.
