Hi Folks,
I only learned last week from my 85 year old mother that both her brothers were mentioned in despatches during WW2. Both chaps are sadly no longer with us, but one of my uncles has got two children (still alive) whom I have no contact with. The other uncle never married.
Is there any way I can find more about these despatches, and more importantly, would I be eligible to get copies as I am not next of kin. I know nothing about these despatches - could anybody please enlighten me?
Many thanks,
Chris
