We have MRs Z's fathers medals mounted

Africa Star, he joined the 8th Army as a tank driver, arrived in North Africa just after the defeat of Rommel so not a desert rat, Italian Star, landed in Sicily, fought up the backbone of Italy was in the battles of Monte Casino, The 1939 - 45 star, and the War medal.

The odd one is the France and Germany star, can only assume this was because he must have ended up in Austria or after Monte Casino he was shipped out of the 8th Army into XXX corp for the push into Germany from the west.

Might do a bit of research into his army record.
