Here is a start http://en.ww2awards.com/person/42043. It lists your Dad's RAAF career and when the medals were awarded. Then why don't you join the Bomber Command face book group 'Bomber Command crews and aircraft' and post your request there because you will certainly get some replies.

Best Wishes, B

Ricky I am Ross Stewart Curator at RAF Wethersfield Museum, your dad was on A Stirling named Bitter Sweet I am in contact with at this moment the Pilot Tom Hogg RCAF son and nephew and the navigator Tom Mouser's daughters we are putting together a full story and display of your fathers plane and crew.

contact me direct at Wethersfield.museum@outlook.com. (I invite contact from anyone with 196 or 299 Sqd info at Wethersfield to make contact)

hope this message finds you, or a moderator might contact you by PM on my behalf before I can.

very pleased to find you, my big question is how in the middle of the war your dad managed to find and marry a lass from Scotland, you may have guessed from my name I'm Scottish.
