Hi, trying to help a friend discover something about his fathers time in the army during WW2. His name Albert Thomas Taylor, born circa 1908 in Ipswich Suffolk. Joined the Royal Artillary in 1939 went to Eygpt and then to Italy. Was awarded two medals. Albert never even opened these medals and never talked about his time in the Army. Can someone help me please. Thank you :-)
