Jon, thank you for taking so much trouble. The documents are very interesting especially as they have survived so long. I know my brother had the MM but what his wife did with it after he died I have no idea. I do have two WW1 medals but not sure what they are for, must look them up.
Regards Helen.

Good morning. Thank you so much, I know very little about my Father's time in the war as he never talked about it. All I know is that he was awarded the MM due to a gas attack. He was in the RAF during the 2ndWW and married my mother in 1941. After the war they moved to Churchtown near Garstang.
I do not have the MM but I do have the dress medal (I think it's called) with 1 bar. I would love to track down the medal. Thank you for the photograph, I did take my Father on a sentimental journey and have always regretted not knocking on the door.

My Father, Thomas Scambler, was born in 1896 and was sent to work on his Uncle's farm in Settle.
He was awarded the Military Medal and Bar during the First World War. I would be very grateful for information you may have.
