Sir:

many many thanks for the information you have shared!  This is a great help to me.  I would also like to take you up on your offer  for james Henderson of the WW1 Medal Card Image and his Commonwealth Graves commission Certificate from the Memorial at Arras in 1918.


I have also just sent an email to the contact in Cypress.  What a great way to start my day!

Again, many thanks!

All of these people are my relatives too!  Could I trouble you to private mail me the medal info etc about James too please?

Andrew Henderson - son of William and Jessie Gordon is my Great Great Grandfather.
2 out of 3 of his sons were born in Burntisland and all lived there too - if you would like any more info on that strand let me know and I'll private mail you too!

Many thanks in advance.

Thank you both - I have privately mailed you both but thought I close this off publicly!

Kind regards
