Lost records have set off the search for the family of World War II veteran, Peggy West, to return her framed medals discovered at Tewantin-Noosa RSL Sub Branch.

Bruce Wilson, member of the Tewantin-Noosa RSL Sub Branch, said, “I recently came across this framing of WWII medals, including a medal from the frontline in Britain and secret activities during WWII, after searching through our records and memorabilia.”

“We have these medals and photos of her, but we lost quite a lot of our records in a flood in Noosa some years ago, so we can’t trace this lady’s family.”

Peggy was a Sergeant at Furmston in England and worked in the secret service intelligence.

“Her family would be very proud to have this framed photo and medals, so we would like any assistance if anyone knows of Mrs Peggy West, out of the Royal Air Force in the German Linguist,” Bruce said.

“I’m sure she would be very proud to take this, or her children, or grandchildren.”
