Pair: Flight Lieutenant J. D. L. Stratton, Royal Air Force

India General Service 1936-39, 1 clasp, North West Frontier 1936-37 (561645 Cpl., R.A.F.); Royal Air Force L.S. & G.C., G.VI.R., 1st issue (Act. Flt. Lt., R.A.F.) nearly extremely fine (2) £150-200

Stratton, who was born in October 1911, was first commissioned as a Pilot Officer in the Technical Branch (Engineers) in July 1941. He was placed on the Retired List as a Flight Lieutenant in February 1948; well worthy of further research, especially since a family source has stated that he was one of the lucky few to get out of Singapore at the time of the Japanese invasion.
