Hi lee

I know you have tried everywhich way to find info about your Grandad on RC   

It just occurred to me, has anyone on your family applied for his service record?

no but that is what I need to do but can't really afford to at the the minute. I have found a good website which tells what all the ribbons mean and by turning them into greyscale I should be able to guess roughly what they mean.
 thanks for both your helps anyway.
  Regards Lee

This is what he could have possibly won.

Lee,
The India Service medal 1939-45 was only issued to Indian troops, so he wouldn't have had that one.

If he qualified for some of the other stars, he should certainly have the 1939-45 Star and the War Medal

Also, the medal ribbons would have been worn in a strict order (the order they're given on the website you found), so that might influence your identification.

Africa, Burma & France and Germany Stars would not be an obvious combination!
