I'm not sure if it's here that I should ask but to elaborate my father was given a Medal of the War Cross.
I was curious to know why he received it, however I'm unable to find it in the Collection of Army's Orders which goes from 1809 to 1975 depending on the collection.
Looking between 1960-1975 I've come across the decorations for the war cross, or Cruz de Guerra, and it's very... let's say a bit disorganised.
The dates seem to jump a lot and most decorations don't speak about commandos.
Are there any tips I could use? cause I'm pretty clueless at the moment.
