223499 Signalman. David Hutton Weir British Army Royal Signals from:Kirkcaldy My father David Weir served during the Second World War with the Royal Signals and was in Egypt December 1942 then Sicily 1943 and continued in Italy 1943 to 1946.
On reading his records he was awarded the Africa Star Pt II 56/29.1.44 15 R of C Sigs BNAF, 1939/1945 Star & Italy Star 5525/28.7.46/IILOFCSIGSCMF, War Medal, Defence Medal.
This has a Stamp STARS CLASPS dated 15 Nov 1948 with a number 158.
I have struggled to find any more information as he died in an accident in 1955 when I was only 9 months old.
I feel as if I will never know his real history as my mother was unable to discuss him with me and clammed up if I mentioned him and his war record. I do not know what happened to his medals either and wondered if anyone could let me know if there is anything extra he would have had on them.
