| TROOPER
MICHAEL JOYCE |
Here is a medal group for a
soldier in the post war army.
This group comprises,
from the left : |
|
|
|
- The Korean War Medal
- the United Nations Medal with KOREA bar
- and the General Service Medal with the bar MALAYA
|
The General Service medal covers the
period 1918-1964 but bears a relief of the appropriate
reigning monarch's profile.
So what do we know about Trooper Joyce?
|
| In particular which
regiment did he serve with? |
 |
The answer should be found in his Certificate
of Service but in this case all it says is RAC
- Royal Armoured Corps
Inside this booklet there is a list of Joyce's postings
which show that he was in Korea from January to December
1953 and Singapore from then until May 1954.
Since these dates and locations do not match with the
movements of any single regiment it would appear that
Trooper Joyce served on administrative duties and
was never a permanent member of any regiment. |
