Hi Jim,

Many thanks for your reply, it's much appreciated.  If it's the same gentleman who's medal we have he was with the Glider Pilot Regiment

Hi Lyn
There is a family tree on Ancestry which is most probably this gentleman. There are several photographs titled thus:

PHOTO: John Cameron - Korea
CATEGORY: Portrait
DESCRIPTION: 1913 Light Liason Flight Group
Annotation on reverse of photo: The Flight Pilots in March 1953....     (MY comment: Korean War 25 June 1950 – 27 July 1953)
ATTACHED TO: John Richard Cameron (1927-1988)

PHOTO: John Cameron & Anne Parkes
CATEGORY: Portrait
DESCRIPTION: Day of engagement
ATTACHED TO: John Richard Cameron (1927-1988)

PHOTO: Dad Main Photo     (MY comment: Note "Dad")
CATEGORY: Other
ATTACHED TO: John Richard Cameron (1927-1988)

I am not a subscriber to Ancestry and therefore unable to provide any further data. However, a request on this website for anyone with a subscription may very well put you in touch with his family.

On behalf of all Veterans, thank you for attempting to reunite an Award with the recipient's family.

Hi q98,

Many thanks for the info.  I think his sons may now have been traced through other means (fingers crossed) but I have an Ancestry subscription so will take a look.

Following q98's message re. the Ancestry website for John Richard Cameron, I've just contacted his son who confirms it is his father's medal.  The Glider Pilot Regiment have apparently contacted another son so the Medal will finally be going home - Result!!!  Many thanks to you all for your help in making this happen

Kind regards
Lyn

By amazing coincidence I received an email in the last few minutes from the Glider Pilot Regiment Association answering my earlier query, giving the news that the problem had been solved via another route.  Delighted.

It is with great difficulty I share with you that in the early hours of 07 August 2021, Maximilian passed away unexpectedly but peacefully.

With deep sadness,
