Bear with me while I explain the connections here.
My mate Gavin sent me an email recently connecting me with his brother David who had a set of WWII medal. Gavin is an Army officer who I spent 10 months of my life with in the Middle East. We were part of US lead Coalition HQ and with a few other Australian officers we formed a Cabal of Colonels. A cabal suggests a group of power but we were more interested in being social outside of the confines of a dynamic and hardworking US Army Corps HQ. It did a lot for our moral to be talking to other Australians while enjoying coffee. It was Starbucks coffee but we didn't have much choice. We still catch up when we can.
When David asked Gavin what he should do with some medal he had come across, Gavin connected David with me. I hope everyone was able to follow this.
The medals David had were awarded to 26424 John Norman Sadler who was in the RAAF. My initial research found a photo of John when he was in Libya.
