Re: Alice Bello Born 1916/17 Liverpool
Brilliant Mary!!
Welome aboard Esky.
I received all my late father's WW2 medals, free from the M.O.D in Bristol after proving I was the only surviving child.
I'll pass them along to my Aussie grandees. Cannot praise the MOD enough.
All the best with your search.

Re: Alice Bello Born 1916/17 Liverpool
Hi folks,
A point about medals.... You may have a rellie who served in the Suez Canal Zone in the late 1940s and early 1950s and they should have a medal for that service.
They wouldn't take me in WW2 'cos I was under-age, but I did serve a couple of years in the Suez Canal Zone in the early 50s. This before the Suez Crisis of 1956. For many years the MOD refused to acknowledge service there. They insisted it was not an 'Active Service Zone' even though we came back with less men than we went out with due to 'enemy' action. If you wanted a medal you went to Korea or Malaya etc!
Recently after much lobbying this attitude changed and there is now a medal for soldiers who served in the Canal Zone and 'got sand in their shoes' before the withdrawal and the subsequent Suez Crisis of 1956 following the President of Egypt Gamal Abdel Nasser's decision of 26 July 1956 to nationalize the Suez Canal.
So if you have someone who was out there, Regular or National Service, make sure they claim the medal!

Hi All,
I am also a great granddaughter of Mary Victoria from her 3rd marriage to Albert Puente. Sadly, my grandfather, her son died in February. He still has 4 living siblings. I know the post is old but would love to get in touch with the originator of this thread or any other family that may have responded. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Many thanks! Lo

Hi and welcome to the forum.
Unfortunately the originator of this post didn't remain a member of the Forum, nor is she a member of the Society so we have no means of making contact. We can only hope that perhaps she is sometimes monitoring this post and replies to you.
If there is any other help we can give, please post and we'll try.
