Rick W Posted November 29, 2014 Share Posted November 29, 2014 I recently acquired a family set of medals, WW1 and WW2, the WW1 are standard ones and I have the history for them. But I'm trying to get a history/medal card for a couple of police medals that Im not familiar with, they also came with an embroidered badge with an MP insignia on it. The first medal is a standard issue Defence Medal 39-45, but it also comes with a medal for exemplary police service, the name engraved on it is to a Sergeant Ronald D. Pummell. Can anyone help? Thanks in advance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter4456 Posted November 30, 2014 Share Posted November 30, 2014 That's an unusal surname so if you know where he lived in WW2 and afterwards (the Police LS&GC medal was instituted in 1951), try the local Police force and they might be able to help. The Essex Police Museum is brilliant for helping with service records and research - hopefully your local force will be too! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rick W Posted November 30, 2014 Author Share Posted November 30, 2014 Thanks for that, I googled his name and he turns out to have been a policeman in Spitalfields during the Blitz, thats all I have found out for now. I will try the other searches. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
