Wow thank you Sandra, you've put a lot of hard work into that. Really appreciate it.

We've made contact with the Canadian Dunns now, still hoping for a photo of Harry or his medals.

A feature was on Points West Wednesday.

They presented me with a photo of Harry. He was identified through a badge on his cap but I just wondered what the badge looked like as the photo is very low quality and probably needs restoring.

Harry was in South Midland brigade, Royal Field Artillery during the first World War.
