Me too MaxD.  Couldn't have done it without Rootschat and the Glider Pilot Regiment

And to think it all started with a transcription on Forces War Records about whom (which?) very little good is heard!

I am Zoe Northeast, granddaughter of Maximilian Double.
 
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,

Just came back onto this thread tonight - this is brilliant news, Lyn.

I know you've already referred to Rootschat members and the Glider Pilot Regiment in your acknowledgement of thanks, but if it hadn't been for your initiating this whole search by determining that this medal should be reunited with its owner/owner's family none of this would have ever happened. A family has been reunited with a lost medal thanks to you.

Hi RRTB,

Thank you.  We're all over the moon that the family has been found.

I would just like to add my thanks to Lyn, she did an amazing job with here perseverance assisted by the GPR and the wonderful RootsChat members.

I am John Cameron's eldest son based in Dubai with Emirates, David is in the UK with Shell. We were completely taken aback with being reunited with a my Dad's Queen's Korea Medal. My Dad was a POW in Korea after being shot down over "The Hook" on the 6th of May 1953 while flying an observation flight over Chinese lines in an Auster AOP. Previously he was Ist Parachute Regiment after being a 'Woolwich Boy'.

Once again, thank you to everyone who helped bring a piece of family history back home.

Best Regards
Mark Cameron
