    Hi,

    Lack of campaign medals suggests a late war conscript who served for a short time before 2nd Sept 1945. Only had to serve 28 days to earn War Medal.

    Not strictly a National Serviceman as the term is usually applied to men “called up” in peacetime - albeit wartime conscripts were called up under the National Service Act 1939.

    You ought to be able to find his BEM recorded in the London Gazette.
