That is a good piece to add to two of your interests, Peter.
It is strange what comes out of the woodwork. Some years ago I asked my father about his medals and he said he had left them in his BD pocket when he exchanged them. I contact what was then the medal office and they said they hadn't been issued. I applied for them on his behalf. He was in Egypt until the end of 1939 but there was no action so he didn't think he was entitled to the Africa Star, which came with the certificate and medals.
