Group 1; Group of Four: 1939/45 Star, Pacific Star, War Medal 1939/45 and Australian Service Medal 39/45. All medals correctly impressed to V280669 F W PYGALL

At the time of listing these medals Frank Pygall’s service records were still sealed. The following was taken from the WW2 nominal roll;

Enlisted 24^h September 1941 Armidale Victoria

Discharged 28^th January 1947

Unit on discharge listed as “115 HEIDELBERG MILITARY HOSPITAL”

Note: A quick trove search shows that on the 24^th December 1943 Pte Pygall and a Pte Malvern were removed from being dangerously and seriously ill in the Infantry section of the casualty list. It appears he is still kept in hospital until being discharged in 1947, further research required

Group 2; Pair: War Medal 1939/45 and Australian Service Medal 39/45. Both medals correctly impressed to VFX128550 B. M. PYGALL

Note: Betty Pygall enlisted in the Australian Army Medical Women’s service, Heidelberg, Victoria which appears to be a classical romance story from taking care of a soldier in hospital.
