    My Uncle Gordon's Medals.


    Recommended Posts

    My uncle Gordon passed away a few years ago.Everyone called him Don.

    He served in the 21st Independent Parachute Company in WWII,pathfinders I believe ?

    At my request,I recently received these photo's from my cousin of his medals.

    We have the 1939-45 Star,France and Germany Star,Defence Medal,General Service Medal with Palestine Bar and two Terretorial Medals,one with two 6 year bars.

    Nice to finally get the photo's of this grouping.

     

    Cheers,Martin.

    My surname is Gordon so this thread immediately caught my eye..makes we wonder if me and your uncle is somehow related assuming his surname was Gordon.

    It's good to see that at least one Gordon did more than his fair share in WW 2...seems like he was a very busy soldier.
