Geminidragonfly Posted 15 February Share Posted 15 February 3618 Pte John Picksley 1/5th KIA 13/10/1915 Hohenzollern Redoubt He was my great grand uncle. I've been trying to track down what happened to his medals and documentation and/or plaque. I've only tracked down one of his posthumously awarded medals to date (owner not willing to sell but he did photograph it for me) Would love to know what you have and if you would show me? I have a photo of him so happy to trade photo's if nothing else is possible. Tried to dm but it wouldn't let me. As I'm new to the forum maybe I'm doing something wrong....? TIA Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
