Thought you might like to see my small but very treasured memorabilia.....

This was given to my grandad while he was out in Salonika, for helping a chap on the battle field.

Hi Milly and Fek

Thank you, I was only 6yrs when g/dad died and I had so many questions to ask him, this one was to the fore, I just really wanted to know what happen on the battle field for someone to give this to him.
