Guest Darrell Posted April 2, 2005 Share Posted April 2, 2005 (edited) Just a few more related WW2 Medals (Except the Indian General Service Medal - It's there because it was taken with the others). The Memorial Cross is attributed to the wife's Grandfather KIA France July 1944. Edited April 3, 2005 by Darrell Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Were they issued in a similar way to the death plaques of WWI? I don't think I've actually ever seen the memorial cross before, do you know if they were also issued in WWI and is there any chance of showing a close up of your wife's grandfather's cross?Tony Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

John Posted April 8, 2005 Share Posted April 8, 2005 Hi all. Some very nice posts. I do like the idea of a memorial cross. i believe the New Zealand forces still do it too. We should do something similar in UK. But then , our successive governments have never looked after its Forces. Its makes my blood boil. flame The Canadian cross is particularly nice.
