This group of medals is one I have not been able to find any detail on. They are in effect 'work in progress' as one day something additional may well be uncovered. Please feel free to contact me should you know of, or have any information on this man.
The Story The pair of medals awarded to J Louis were acquired from E-Bay in February 2009. The Efficiency Medal and General Service Medal combination being of interest, together with the unusual unofficial Malaya Campaign Medal.
Despite initial research on Ancestry and a subsequent check during the 2020 ‘lockdown’, no definitive record could be found for a J Louis. The only lead was Forces War Records, confirming the award of the Efficiency Medal and clasp.
