R McI Rogers

Two of the medals awarded to NX167650 Robert McIlveen Roger were sent to me in 2014 by the Ipswich RSL. I thought the unusual middle name might make the search straight forward but I was wrong. All public information abruptly stopped in 1980 which put a pause on the research

As part of my recent review of some old searches I came across a family tree which included Robert. This afternoon, in response to my message via Ancestry.com, I received a call from Robert's daughter. This is Margaret, who has kindly shared a photo of Robert wearing his full medal entitlement.

We have come to the conclusion that these two medal were with another family member before being given to the RSL and then forwarded on to me. 

I find it interesting that Robert's middle name is depicted as McI on the medal.

The retuned medal tally is now 3023.
