Hubby spoke to his dad at the weekend, and was told by him that there is a new WW2 medal??? and that he would like to get it for his father. This is the question.. how do we find out hubby' s grandads official number (army)? grandad has no memory of his wife of 61 ish years who passed away a couple of years back, so we know he wont remember regiment or no. Can anyone advise me please. Thanks Debs x
