[Margaret Pilkington]

It really saddens me that people can part with the medals that were won by their family member.
I think that if family members no longer want these medals there should be somewhere that they could send them to be kept...ah, but then some would want to benefit financially from these items with so much history attached to them.

Canuck, I take my hat off to you for your diligent search for the details of this man and his family.
I have just spent the weekend searching (it was a FREE weekend on Ancestry UK)for my ancestors and so I know what a mind boggling and sometimes, frustrating pursuit it can be.
Well done that man
