Armed Forces / Re: Korean War Medal
« on: Sunday 25 June 23 20:20 BST (UK)  »
I don't think the medal rolls for the Queen's Korea Medal have been published. How sure are you that he might have gone to Korea? Only 14,198 British servicemen went as part of the UN contingent, at a time when the Army alone was 364,000 strong, so fewer than 4% served in Korea.
Your best bet is to get his service documents from the MOD and then once you have his Army number, apply to the MOD Medal Office Historical Section to see if he was awarded the Korea Medal. The number, rank, name, initials and regiment of every recipient was engraved around the edge of the medal.

Armed Forces / Korean War Medal

This a long shot. I am trying to find out if my late uncle received The Korean Medal?

I don’t have my uncles Regimental Number all I have is:
Henry Arthur Hearn known as “Harry”
He served in the Army for 22 years and he served with the RAOC - Royal Army Ordnance Corps.

Thanks Keith

South Lancashire (Prince Of Wales Volunteers) fits the badge. 100% certain of it.  No chance at all he was RA in that photo.

Cheers I shall take a look

He was discharged from the RFA, but he did serve for a while. Would he have been entitled to wear a version of the uniform for a photo after the discharge? And even if not, perhaps he did it anyway.

AlanBoyd,

It is so difficult to find the right person. Or Regiment I shall keep trying.

The badly mangled restore doesn't help but possibly Small Arms School Corps.
Need to see the original.

I am afraid I don’t have the original

I can’t convince myself that there is a lion with a rose above (Y&LR) in that cap badge.

Mentioning this man to rule him out:

George Bramwell, 15467 Y&LR, of Birley Carr, Sheffield, awarded the Military Medal.

I don’t have the photo so it’s very difficult
I do know he was married in the Rotherham area in Jan 1918?

He is in the 1911 census at 21 Upper Stanhope Street, Toxteth Park, Liverpool. There is a military record for a George Bramwell Royal Field Artillery, 3587, with that address.

AlanBoyd,

I did look at his Army Record and he lied about his age and in Sep 1915 he was discharged from the RFC for lying about his age.

The photo I think could be the York’s & Lancs Regiment? I very unsure
