Hi Pete,

Many thanks for the suggestions, I will follow these up.

My father was born in Luton on 9 October 1918 & died in Cambridge on 6 May 2015. I attach a photo.

Many thanks!

I am searching for my father's medals from WW2 (Burma). It appears he might have donated them to a local museum or Association. He lived in Cambridge. If there is anyone local who can give me some suggestions, I would be most grateful. Or even if anyone knows a local contact who might be able to help me. I have tried the RM Museum & also Duxford.

Pete,

OK, many thanks. The details you have are correct.

My father's full name was Edward Frederick Long, he passed away on 6 May 2015.
I attach a photo which I hope is clear enough.

Bill,

OK, thanks.
I have tried the Royal Marines museum at Eastney but no joy.

John,

Many thanks, I will certainly follow that up.
One other thought - does the Association have regional contacts that I could check with - just in case the items have remained in my local area?

I am trying to track down my father?s beret and wartime medals. He served in Burma from 1943 ? 45. He passed away in May 2015, aged 96. It appears he may have donated his medals & beret to an Association or museum, although this may have been some decades ago. I have no further information on this. I now have no idea where they might be.
I would appreciate any advice or suggestions as to where I could look.
Many thanks. Tim Long.
