Kindly assist with info
Hi all, I bought a British War Medal with "Pte. C. Crous 1st S.A.I." impressed on the bottom edge and I was wondering if anyone would be so kind as to find the info on him.
Many thanks, Jeff |

Hi Jeff
Unfortunately we don't have an online archive to research items like this so you would have to get a researcher to go to the archive to pull his paperwork. There are a couple of guys who do it and if I can find an address I'll PM it to you. Cheers, Alex |
