I searched for records for my grandfather's WW2 records because he had earned several medals but wanted to get home so bad when he was done - he didn't wait for them and then never followed up. BUT, during the Vietnam war protests there were several protests and one in particular that many of the records were destroyed by fire.  If you have even one piece of paper that has any of his info, that is the starting point. There are certian medals that he would have gotten just for being enlisted. Then there are other medals that he would have gotten based on his job and length of service. THEN there are speciality medals for conduct, promotion, ect. I found that the old guys that work behind the counters at the army surplus stores are a GREAT reference and since most of them have been thru a war or two know who to call where. Good luck. These medals definately become a family heirloom. It took me three years to get all of my grandfathers. And I did it thru surplus stores.

Most military museums hold this type of information.  You could try the following:\nwww.winchestermilitarymuseums.co.uk\nI found them to be very useful when I needed information on the second world war for my son's homework.  If they can't help you they should be able to point you in the right direction.

You might try here. There is a link about searching home histories, but it apparently is focused on the historic.\n\nhttp://www.essexcc.gov.uk/vip8/ecc/ECCWebsite/dis/faq.jsp?channelOid=13813&guideOid=14788&oid=17353
