The East Kent section has three images one of which is a set of medals and I was astounded to see that they were my grandfather's. I have his set of dress medals but have always understood that his proper medals were buried with him. Does anyone know who posted the image or where the medals are now?

TLJ,

I posted the picture back in 2013. I was sent the image. I will check my records for its origin and come back to you.

Best wishes

Thank you, that is very kind. I don't wish to appear 'picky' but I did notice his surname is spelt incorrectly. It should be Jeffery.

Thank you for that info David and apologies for my tardy response. Were you able to discover the origin of the photo of his medals. Terry

Good evening David,

I was wondering if you have been able to discover the origin of the photograph of my grandfather's medals.

Kind regards
Terry
