Thanks Peter. He was Arthur Douglas Machin Died 16 July 1944 aged 23. I know that he's buried in France (if you search the War Graves site he's on there). He was with the South Staffordshire Regiment, 5th Bn. Do you need anything else? c x |

Hi, My G Uncle was killed during the 2nd WW. I have found an article in our local newspaper that says his commanding officer was going to put him forward for a medal as he carried on fighting even tho he was badly injured. Is there anywhere that i can look which will tell me if he was ever awarded anything. Cheers c x |
