Hello everyone, I am trying to find out about a relative who was in the RAF.
My great uncle was a Flight Sergeant Frank Walker in the RAF. No: 538720.
We have his medals which include:
The 1939 - 1945 Star
The Atlantic Star
The Africa Star
The Italy Star
Long Service and Good Conduct Medal
and two others. One of which has got the turkish flag on it with a green and white ribbon. It has what looks like the olive branches around the edge and arabic writing on. On the back it has G VI R.
The other has a Lion standing on some mythical dragon type creature. It has the date 1939-1945 on the back. On the front is King George. The ribbon is red, white and blue.
So, my two qustions are:
1) What are these two extra medals?
2) How can I find out about his career? He was born in 1916 and died in 1974. He had no children. He did have at least two sisters and a brother but we do not know what happened to any of them.
Any ideas?
