The Orr medal is the proverbial gift that keeps on giving. The readers are probably bored stiff with all the additions I have made to this post but... having been kindly sent some photos by a direct relative, I thought I'd post them as a tribute to the recipient.

The one most relevant to this thread is, of course, Orr resplendent in his ILH uniform, sporting a Captain's epaulets.



The second is of his beautiful wife, Dorothy.



The last is of Orr in later life



Regards

Rory

It just goes to show that you're never finished when researching someone. There's always something that can turn up years later!
Thanks for posting.
Cheers Steve
