David "Jack" Johnson
British Army
About 10 years ago, my grandad, David Johnson, gave me his two medals, a 1939-45 star, and a France and Germany star. I was too young then to ask questions about them. Grandad died in 1992, so I never got to talk to him about his part in the war.
I was wondering if anyone could tell me what these medals were for, and maybe even what the campaigns were like? I don't even know what the GRJ VI on the stars is.
I believe he was a tank engineer, and that his tank was last over one of the German bridges before it blew, but that's all I know. If anyone can help me, please email me.
