This sign came with a family group of ww2 medals. One was a major in the RFA in ww1 and then a flight officer RAF reserve(intelligence)in ww2.The other was a captain in the royal engineers during ww2.Can anyone tell me if there is a link between 53rd welsh division and either of these two's service ?

Cheers, mark

Each Division had attached Army services such as RA & RE, so the RE officer could have been part of the 53rd.
