Hi, Just done a quick search and found this.
CWGC :: Casualty Details

Thanks apreciate that would his name be T.C. Barrett on medals as is only T.Barrett

[MrNosey]

Thats the only 2lt Barrett listed on CWGC so theres a good chance he survived the war. Is his service number on the medals? If so ill see if i can find his medal card.

[MrNosey]

Ive just done a search of the National Archives Medal Card records and there is only 1 T Barrett listed of that rank...could be your man!
