WW2 medal info.

[rosieloo]

John Edwin Thomas Storey.
Rank Gunner.
Service No 1684975.
Date of Death 28/12/1941.
Regiment Royal Artillery.

John was killed in Jordan in the Western Desert. I'm trying to find if he was awarded any medals or if he has known a war grave.

Any help would be appreciated.

Apologies I thought I had sent this post but cant seem to find it posted.

Johns name is commemorated on the Alamein Memorial, name on column 38. It would appear therefore that he has no known grave.

I would think that he would have been entitled to the 1939-45 war medal, defence medal and the western desert star at least.

do you have his scroll of honour ??

Hi,

No I haven't got John's scroll of honour.

I have been trying this last few days to get all info I could on John for his daughter who never knew her father as she was just a baby
when he died she knew he was killed in WW2 but not where and when.

Unlike the WW1 medal cards, I don't think there is a list of medals awarded for service in WW2.
They were not distributed automatically; men had to apply for them.
As a next of kin, his daughter may be entitled to apply for his full army record - however this would be at a cost (around £30????) and takes several months.
