That's fantastic! Thank you so much, Ady. Now I have to find out why it was in my family's possession as we have no-one of that name. I'll have to see if I can get it back to the right family.
Thanks again.

Thought you might like to know he served for 3 years in Mesopotamia and Persia with the East Lancs before he transferred to RASC, Ady. Got heatstroke, sandfly fever and typhus.
He was from Accrington, so at least I have a lead.
Thanks again, Ady.
