<p>[QUOTE=&quot;afantiques, post: 372994, member: 25&quot;]Everyone got the War Medal. They got campaign medals based on theatre of service, Africa Star and Italy Star together are common. There was no general service medal for WWII, the different campaign medals serve the purpose the GSM serves in other conflicts. There was no general issue of good conduct medals, the nearest thing is the long service and good conduct&nbsp; medal which did not apply to &#039;hostilities only&#039; military people.</p><p><br /></p><p>The MOD keeps records of who was awarded what, for a proper record enquire there. Give full name and service number, or at least the regiment if you do not know his number, the service number may be on any old papers he kept such as his discharge papers.</p><p>WWII medals apart frim gallantry medals were unnamed so it should be easy enough to make up a set that would be identical to the originals he was issued.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
