CHARITABLE ADVERTISING on Web Site There are many worthwhile charitable causes in existence, but we can only accept sponsorship or fundraising efforts on Fusilier Association websites, that specifically support approved Fusilier charities. This essentially means that it is acceptable to use these pages to seek sponsorship for The Fusiliers Aid Society (which includes Fallen Fusiliers), and The Fusilier Memorial fund only. We now have our own dedicated justgiving site (http://www.justgiving.com/fusiliersaidsociety), which you can use to help raise money for your cause. If you let RHQ (Asst Regt Sec) know the specific cause you are raising money for, it will be directed to the correct fund.

Hello Everyone
My name is Ray Berry and I'm an Ex Australian Army Warrant Officer for 26 years. I'm wondering if anyone may be able to point me in the right direction. I have inherited 5 of my Grand Fathers medals (James Berry) which I wear proudly every ANZAC Day. However, my auntie has just informed me that one is missing, and she doesn't know what it was and wear to possibly go to find out. I have his originals still in their original packaging, including the paperwork detailing the enclosed Awards granted for his service during the war of 1939-45 but it highlights all the possible awards and doesn't detail what he was actually awarded. I believe I have the following: 1939-45 Star, African Star, Italy Star, Defence Medal and the War Medal 1939-45. Normally, I was hoping to track this down by identifying his service number which is normally located on the medals but unfortunatly it wasn't located. If anyone is able to point me in the right direction as to wear I might me able to track this and any other information in reference to my grandfather, it would be really appreciated as there's only one of his surviving children and I would like to get this information to her before she passes. Anyway, advance, thank you for your time and assistance in reference to this and I look forward to receiving any guidance so that I can action accordingly.

Regards
Ray Berry
