Evening All,
I have recently acquired a set of insignia, medals and headdress to whom i believe is the recently deceased (RIP Sir), Canon Hugh Melinsky.
https://www.churchtimes.co.uk/articl...-hugh-melinsky
In with the medals, war medal, defence medal, 39-45 and Pacific star is a little notebook.
He was stationed in what looks like Australia (Lots of names of streets and locations in Sydney), but also references a trip to USA.
I know he was int corps (sidecap, rank pips and badges), but in his obituary of 23 Nov 2018 from the Church Times, it fleetingly mentions that he took part in contributing to the JAPANESE INTELLIGENCE OPERATION.
Theres numerous names of ladies and tel numbers/addresses in the notebook.
What would have his role been as a mere Lieutenant.
His details are Canon Michael Arthur "Hugh" Melinsky. Educated at Whitgift school (Included is a blazer badge with crossed Lee Enfields and 1939-40-41-42
He was called up in 42. Any assistance with trying to find out what he did would be appreciated.
Thank you.
Jon
