Modern Medals

Two. Korea Medal (Canada) and UN Korea Medal clasp Korea. Korea Medal named to SD8880 J.T.O. GAUDRY; UN Korea same number, surname but initials T.J.O., which match his attestation papers that indicate his given names are Thomas Joseph Oscar. The D in his service number on his Korea Medal is officially corrected. Gaudry served in Korea with 1 R22eR from April 1952-April 1953, before returning to Canada. He attended parachutist training in Rivers, Manitoba in July 1953, earning his Parachute wings, and served with the unit for another year before transferring to the RCOC. He took his release in June 1958. Medals are court mounted as worn, and held in a small embossed wallet (a souvenir of Japan), which contains Gaudry's dog tags and a small photo of him in battledress uniform with his medal ribbons visible.

Fowler's service is unresearched, but given the date of issue of the medal, which represents at least 25 years of service, he would have begun his service sometime between 1931 and 1936. Medal is on original wearing pin and ribbon. A very scarce early version of the OPP Long Service Medal.
