leon21 Posted December 11, 2024 Posted December 11, 2024 Bought this box of medals about 3 years ago at auction, tried to find who they belonged to with no luck at the time, So decided to take another look and this time got a hit. Vivian Thomas Gloster-Downing born 28 Dec 1915 in Laugharne Wales. Parents Thomas and Edith Blanche Gloster-Downing. Vivian Thomas joined the Intelligence Corps which was formed in July 1940 comprising of officers already engaged in Intelligence work at army staff level.
