Find Ancestors

Thanks all for your trouble..........I knew it was a long shot.

Thanks, Flip, for the image of the medal card

Looks like the only record to survive is the medal card - have checked all the A Redgate records on ancestry and national archives and none are him. guess his record was one of the 70%.

Shame you weren't looking for Albert as there is lots on him.

Incidently, the WW2 record for the Alexander posted earlier was born in 1915, the son of William & Grace Edith Redgate. This is his burial record:

Lance Bombardier Alexander A Redgate
Death Date: 10 Apr 1942
Burial Place: As Sallum, Matruh, Egypt

Notts & Derbyshire is the right regiment - have sent image by PM

I can't find anything on Findmypast for the man you are looking for.
