have found two world war two medals for f. w. nutter, he sadly didnt live to receive them and they are in a package addressed to mrs b. nutter, there is no number on for the gentleman, just says aircraftman second class, any ideas?

I found this entry on the Commonwealth War Graves commision website;

NUTTER, FREDERICK WILLIAM Aircraftman 2nd Class98679906/06/1940 18Royal Air Force Volunteer ReserveUnited KingdomGrave A. 3479.BURNLEY CEMETERY


If it's the right one then I can only guess Mrs B.Nutter may have been his mum judging by his age

Just realised if you click on his name then you will find his mum's name was Bessie

thanks for that lancs, its looking like he may not have any descendants, so what should i do with the medals, they dont seem to have any great value, but it seems a shame, one is a defence medal and other an oak medal

He may have had brothers or sisters. I can ask on another Burnley website for you if you like, it's a football one but amazing how many people know various families in the area.

Would be nice to think they could go back to the family if thats what you want for them.

of course i would like them to go to the family, have just posted the details on claret mad if thats what you are thinking, am going away tomorrow so will not be on line till next wednesday, the medals were found in an empty house my brother bought , the address was 64 moorland road, so lets all get our sherlock hats on and see if we can reunite them with any relatives!
