Australian medals
 

I have recently acquired a group of medals all named to OX3942 C.D. Hobson. The medals are 39/45,Africa,War, Australia war medal. I have tried everything l can think of by exploring your superb memorial site but cannot find any trace of him. Might any collectors from down under be able to help me in my research. Many thanks in advance.
