Write to where he was staioned if poss, if not then corps, if not try min of defence, if you can find an old mate through any names on the pics even better, they can tell you first hand then
Good on you to remember your dad - he would be proud Www@QuestionHome@Com
The M!.O!.D will deal with next of kin only, Next of kin counts as
1) Spouse
2) Eldest surviving child
3) or if no children are living then Eldest Surviving Grandchild
If you are in one of these then contact the M!.O!.D
