Ken served in an Anti Aircraft Battery during WWII and then had a long career in the New South Wales Police Force. I came across this article about Ken and other retired Police Officers receiving the National Police Service Medal.
Ken died in 2016 and through information about his funeral I was able to make contact with his daughter Julie. I'll send Julie her father's medal in the near future and thanks to Ted for his role in returning this medal.
The returned medal tally is now 2012.
Hi Glyn.
ReplyDeleteAnother good result. Can I give quick shout out to Melanie, who initially also played a role in getting this medal home
Regards Ted
Excellent work you lot ...
ReplyDeleteHi Ted, I am Ken's grand daughter and Julie is my aunty. Thank you soooooo much for getting this medal back to him. I have got a photo with all his medals and this one was in the mix so from the bottom of my heart thank you. History is all we have now of "Big Pa" and I have tried to keep all of his personal medals, certificates and badges together. Sarah xxxx
