John Hammond was my great grandfather. He was born in Sunderland in 1884 and died in service on either 10th or 11th July 1916. He left behind a wife and 3 children, the youngest child, Peter Hammond was my grandfather.
Peter was born in 1910 and died in 1992. He served in the merchant navy from the age of 14 until he was in his 50's. He served during the second world war and I'm proud to be the custodian of his medals.
The whereabouts of my great grandfathers medals are unknown.
