Ex Barry McGown Scott Collection.

Correct Service No. is A31111. The WWII service number has not been located but it maybe correct and altered post WWII as Blackburne was in the permanent air force. There is no record of him serving in Korea. He would be entitled to a Long Service Medal but the above medal is renamed.
