Notes: Benjamin Arthur Lowe was born on May 4th 1924, and enlisted for service on June 15th 1944. Very little information regarding his WW2 service is available, but his RoyL Artillery tracer card is available to view online, which charts his progress through the 195 Field Regiment RA, 23 Para Light Anti-Aircraft / Anti-Tank Regiment, 158 Para Field Regiment, and 159 Para Field Regiment. His trade on enlisted is noted as being an ‘Aircraft Worker’ in his pocket book The book also contains dates and locations of his parachute jumps, but these start in the very early post war era of June 1945, through to August 1947, in locations such as Chaklala, India, and Palestine. The items have been consigned by Gunnner Lowe’s family, having been in their possession since he left the services. Condition: generally very good. Both blouses remain in very good clean condition, with one example having just a tiny moth hole to the bottom of one of the breast pockets, and what appears to be a field repair to the waist strap. The attached printed insignia haas normal fading / soiling to the surface from service wear. The medals remain in mint condition and appear to have never been worn (it’s understood that his medals were never claimed after WW2, and the family later applied for them). The paperwork and sewing kit show age and service wear, but nothing to its detriment.
