Email received on 21.3.2013 from Graham Jones (graham@coins.fsnet.co.uk. ' am the custodian of his WW1 medals and have researched him for many years. When I came across the fine photo of him that you have, I immediately thought that I ought to try to obtain a copy to go with everything else.
Kind regards,
Graham Jones.
