Hello,
I was wondering if you could help me. I am hoping to find what my grandfather did in WW2, what medals (if any) he received, what position he held and in what regiment.
My grandfather was Gordon Fred Ashford, born 28 Aug 1918 in Westbury-sub-Mendip, Somerset, England. Before he war he lived in Chew Park House/Farm in Chew Valley (before the lake was created). His father was Frederick Hubert Ashford (1888-1951) and his mother was Susan Ada Thyer (1886-1972).
My grandfather did an interview about his life for a book about the Chew Valley area. He said this part about his time in the services, I don't know if it's helpful at all. He's also not listed on the 1939 register but the rest of his family are.
Thank you for all your help
