Eileen Alice Medd - British Red Cross
« on: Wednesday 29 November 23 15:22 GMT (UK) »
Amongst a number of items I have found some British Red Cross awards to Eileen Alice Medd.
She was a member of The Buckinghamshire Number 68 RC detachment in the 1930's. I have traced her in FindMyPast and now have details of her family etc. Amongst the above items was a box offically addressed to her which contained two Second World War medals and a sheet stating that she was entitled to another two more medals.
However, I cannot find any records of any service beteen 1939 to 1945 and the Red Cross paperwork is only dated from 1931 to 1937.
Any ideas?

I lived in Ardwick, Manchester in the early 1960s as a small child and much travelling of the world has now led me to want to know more about my roots. Carter, Beckwith, Connolly, Heron and Kelly are all names that form part of my family tree.

That is who I assume she was, dying as a single woman 1989.  As we can't post from 1939 register I thought it might be helpful for Paul to give the extra information that is added against her on the next page
