----- Original Message ----- From: Robyn Dykes To: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2003 7:36 AM Subject: War Records??????????? Hi everyone, I'm new to this list so please be patient with me as I try to explain as to what I would like to find in regards to War records. I'm chasing my father-in-law's war records and have gotten some via the National Archives. All it gives is enlistment & discharge notices, etc. How would I go about getting actual notices of engagements of where he was stationed such as when he was in New Guinea and according to the eulogy read at his funeral, he was supposedly in Europe? The family knew about the Dakota Trail but nothing of the European stint. Here's hoping someone can help Kind Regards Robyn Cairns, Qld

Robyn I assume from you comments below he must have been with the RAAF. Is that correct?

One of several ways is to get his unit name and number Then go to the page called "Who was there?" http://www.diggerhistory.info/pages-conflicts-periods/ww2/pages-2aif-cmf/who -was-there.htm Find the references to his unit and you then know what actions he took part in It is then an easy matter to find out about the various campaigns Ted www.diggerhistory.info ----- Original Message ----- From: "Robyn Dykes" <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Saturday, May 03, 2003 7:24 AM Subject: Fw: War Records??????????? > ----- Original Message ----- > From: Robyn Dykes > To: [email protected] > Sent: Wednesday, April 30, 2003 7:36 AM > Subject: War Records??????????? > > > Hi everyone, I'm new to this list so please be patient with me as I try to explain as to what I would like to find in regards to War records.
