WWII medals and a bonus

This group of WWII medals awarded to NX138213 Oliver Rowland 'Rowlie' Thomas is quite straight forward. What is slightly different is the named Red Cros Society long service medal which is also included.

The Red Cross medal was awarded to Mrs June Thoms, who was Rowlie's wife. The path the medal have taken to get to me was via the Red Cross to Port Macquarie Legacy to me. I've now been in contact with Rowlie and June's daughter Beverley.

Thanks to Alf S from Port Macquarie Legacy for sending me the medals. The returned medal tally is now 2826.
