Pilning

[Alders]

Hello,
Does any one know if what would be the local paper for Pilning circa 1918? I'm trying to find out the story of why local lad Gilbert Rowland Humphries was awarded a Military Medal for Bravery, all that i can see documented is a mention in the London Gazette 13/9/1918.

thanks

The funeral of Gilbert's father was written up in the Western Daily Press (22 Dec 1915), so that might be a good starting point?

Any of the Bristol Newspapers.
However, the newspaper trade (or war!) in Bristol makes for some confusion?

Bristol Observer (1859-1962)
Bristol Evening Post (now Bristol Post)
Western Daily Press (1858 to date)
Bristol Evening News (1877-1932)
Bristol Evening Times & Echo (1909-1932)
