Now, sadly, Mrs Walker has also passed away and her husband is keen to see if JW Kidd has relatives in the Alnwick area who would like the medals.
The France and Germany Star was awarded specifically for service in France, Belgium, Luxembourg, the Netherlands or Germany and adjacent sea areas between June 6, 1944, and May 8, 1945. The 1939-1945 Star was awarded for service during the Second World War.
