World War II medals - Olivia Little

These medals belonged to my Great Uncle Len and were given to him throughout the course of World War II.

He was in both the Army and the Navy and served in: Burma, Italy, Africa and Germany!

These medals are special to my family as it makes us proud to think that someone close to us fought so bravely for our country! We are proud of his achievements and the many contries he visited.

These medals have taught me that so many men took part in war and had to be so brave each day!
