This is the third group of medals that recently came from the NSW RSL.
NX177554 John Bede Brown was one of 12 children. He was known by his family as Jack and remained a bachelor. An interesting piece of detail from this service record is that following the Japanese surrender it appears he served in Japan as part of the occupation force.
Through Ancestry, I've found a niece who will accept Jack's medals into the family. Several of Jack's siblings also served and the medals will join those of one of his brothers.
The returned medal tally is now 2844.
Back with family.Just as it should be.Wonderful caring work,thank you,so good to see. One day maybe my gr father's will find their way home.
