Thomas Carseldine

This return is the second lot of medals sent to me recently by Charlie S. These are the Pacific Star and Australian Service Medal 1939-45 awarded to QX13582 Thomas Carseldine. Thomas was also awarded 1939-45 Star, the Africa Star, the Defence Medal and the War Medal.


Thomas was 59 years old when he enlisted and saw a lot of overseas service as a gunner in the 1st Anti Tank Regiment. 
 

Thomas was single and died in 1975. He was from a large family and it is though his brother Frank, that I've recently contacted the current generation.





Thanks to Charlie who sent me these as well as the Stoker medals. The returned medal tally is now 3027.
