ALBERT EDWARD (BUD) SMITH Sadly Bud died in Januray 1999 I am Bud's last remaining brother and want to trace his military record and also get replacement medals as his have disappeared. He was originally 3rd battalion but laterly he was 2nd and also served at Oxford University with Officer Cadets. Can anyone help me with memories of Bud or his army number my email is kevinksmith99@yahoo.com Thanks Kevin Smith
Kevin, Your best bet is to contact the GreenJacket /Rifles Museum at Winchester. They will help you as they are the best in the business at the Regimental history. They will also advise on the replacement Medals. Tel; 01962828549 or Email ; curator@rgjmuseum.co.uk Best of luck mate. Regards Jeff Parsonson.
You could try writing to the address below they could advise you better (if you do not have an Army Number, give them the details you do have: full name, date of birth, date joined, date discharged - all these details will be in his discharge (red) book if you can find that amongst his papers):
