Hello L.L, you might try looking at Malcolm Gordons website. He is in London and sells all kinds of ww2 stuff.
www.gordonscollectables.com

I've bought from him before and he is easy to deal with and is quick to send the items.

The London Gazette is now on-line at:

It can be a bit slow, and there are occasionally few problems, and only certain medals are indexed, but this is a great leap forward and is to be welcomed.
