John Sidney Owens
Hello everyone,
I have been asked find the family of NX32490 John Sidney Owens so I can return two WWII medals to them. The only details I have is from the WWII nominal roll which are:
Date of Birth 7 May 1916
Place of Birth Gunnedah NSW
Date of Enlistment 17 Jun 40
Date of Discharge 11 Oct 45
Unit 2/1 Machine Gun Bn
Rank SGT
NOK J Owens
The medals were found in Sydney.
I was wondering if any member of this froum had any details of this veteran.
Thank you.
Yours in service,
Glyn

Re: John Sidney Owens
Dont have any info on him but that was my fathers unit and they still have an association. They still march as a group in Brisbane each year so they may have contact details for him. I will ask around for you

Re: John Sidney Owens
Thank you Rob,
I came across a reference on the Internet to a unit history that was published in 1997. I am trying to track down the author. There was also mention of a unit association but I couldn't find a POC.
I appreciate your assistance and look forward to any more news.
Yours in service,
Glyn
