NigelS Posted 30 April , 2010 Share Posted 30 April , 2010 Don't think This story from today's Tottygraph (30/04/10) about the return of the BWM of Thomas Swan to a family descendant has been mentioned yet NigelS Edit: looks likely to be (from MICs): Swan, Thomas H; The Queen's Reg, Pte, 49479; Labour Corp 79610 and this man's service record did survive (Thomas Henry Swan) which gives age of 38 on attestment (birthdate 1879 not 1979 as per Tottygraph!); The record has the acknowledgement of receipt for the BWM; he was also entitled to the Victory medal - wonder if that went the same way?

DavoT Posted 1 May , 2010 Share Posted 1 May , 2010 Great to see it back in the family. It really makes one wonder how many other medals met the same fate! David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
