Hello Listers, I’m in need of some help (again). I received a call from someone this morning only because the initials of the person he was looking for are the same as my husbands. It turns out that this person (an elderly gentleman) had found a box full of memorabilia of the Korean War along a roadside in Redcliffe, Qld a few years ago. The box contains letters, medals, photographs & a few other bits & bobs, the name on the medals are of Dennis Tully Arch. I have done a preliminary search for this name & came up with a nominal roll & the 1963 & 1977 QLD electoral rolls. The QLD electoral rolls states he lived in Petrie, Brisbane. The elderly gentleman told me he has contacted the R.S.L but they didn’t want to help. Does anyone know where to start in asking for help in trying to find this soldier or at least a living family member? Cheers, Christine P.S - This is the information given on the nominal roll: Service Record Name : Arch, Dennis Tully Service : Australian Army Service Number : 210342 Birth Date : 29 November 1926 Birth Place : Ashington, Northumberland, England Rank : Private Corps : Royal Australian Infantry Corps Honours : None For Display Days in Service : 382 Prisoner of War : No Unit History Start of service End of Service Unit 21 November 1951 6 December 1952 3rd Battalion, The Royal Australian Regiment
Glyn Llanwarne has a site called "Lost Medals" and he has a team dedicated to finding the owners he has returned over 1,000 medals to relatives of ex Soldiers... the site is here if it doesnt work just google "Lost medals" www.lostmedalsaustralia.com Any information you may have on the Soldier is helpful to the team..
