JOHN BECKHOUSE FROM QUEANBEYAN IN AUSTRALIA.jpg "<img src='/gallery/australian-flag(2).jpg'/>") To Gary - Thanks to your advice - and despite being earlier assured by the Department of Defence that my grandfather, Captain BECKHOUSE had received all of the service medals to which he was entitled, I queried whether he was entitled to any other awards. Lo and behold - yes, he was entitled to the 1939-1945 Star after all .... and I am now going through the hoops to have that issued. Many thanks to Medals Gone Missing for your advice and assistance. HAVE YOU CLAIMED ALL OF THE WAR MEDALS THAT YOU, OR YOUR ANCESTORS ARE ENTITLED TO?

I reckon you are a brilliant researcher and have hit the nail on the head!! For some reason or another, I didn't think of the Emergency Services, and it makes a lot of sense. Thanks again I really appreciate your time and effort. Please also add me to your mailing list as I think your organization is first class. Steve and Naomi Ager TESTIMONIAL as a result of a query regarding the identification of a particular medal.
