Hello Anne,
Yours and Jocelyn's replies suggest that I did the right thing to flag up
what's happening re Francis' medals...... was in two minds whether to leave
you in ignorance or let you know.
Then I remembered seeing the reports concerning the sale of some of my close
families possessions and how both sad and angry I was in only finding out
after the event, not even previously knowing in who's possession they had
been and so I thought that I could not leave you in ignorance.
I have managed to recover a couple of items ex ebay that I identified as
belongings of persons from my Cattley tree but in both cases they were of
little interest to collectors and so I got them quite reasonably. WW1 medals
however are in a different league and regrettably it would need quite some
financial committment to secure the sale.
Lets hope that Jocelyn and her dad can recover the two medals back into
their rightful family ownership.
Tim

I printed off the information re his death and which cemetery he is
remembered in a few years ago. But I can't afford to get into this
purchase. Maybe Jocelyn will be interested.
He was my mother's first cousin.
Thank you for the information.
Anne
