This query has come up on on a family history forum I subscribe to. If anyone can help this chap I'll pass the details on.

Hi guys, trying to find out some medal information on the above mentioned airman.
Apparently he was born about 1921 and possibly died in 1966.
Anyone any ideas please?

Which medals are they ? I've found a F/S Geoffrey Walling Hooper DFM , Gazetted 23 May 1944 whilst with 70 Squadron , Service No 1237627 . At that time the squadron was flying Wellington's in Italy after moving up through North Africa .

The chap on the family history forum is absolutely delighted and sends his thanks. Seems he'd been banging his head against a brick wall for a while - you just need to ask in the right place!
