Roy Schipper

I was unable to find very little in the public records about SX28138 Roy Ormond Schipper. Other than the information from his DVA WWII summary, all I could really find is that he died on 14 March 1995 and was buried in the same grave as his parents.

I was reasonably sure that Roy didn't marry and this was confirmed when I contacted a member of the Schipper family. It is to this family member who I'll send Roy's medals too. 

These medals are from the RSL Care SA bag. I suspect they are late issue based on the style of the naming. The impressing seems to be slightly bigger, neater and more hard struck that normal. The returned medal tally is now 2716.
