	Do you know what medals he received or are you after information about why he received them? However, here's another avenue to try. They have records. Phone: 01283 22 79 13 I'd ring first as the guy was extremely helpful. Address: Royal Navy, Navy Command, Director Naval Personnal, Naval Search, TNT Records Management, PO Box 7814, Tetron Point, William Nadin Way, Swadlincote, Derbyshire DE11 1EG From memory I think there's a charge if you're not a widow.
