Thank you for that photo of the memorial plaque David

I have the medals (Afghan and QSA) to 1530 Sgt F.W. Harris who is commemorated on the panel.

I have photos (below) of where his name appears in outside the Kokstad Town Hall and append photos of his medals and of himself and his family just prior to his death.

Regards

Rory
