My Uncle Peter found an image of my Grandfather from WW1 in which the text read that he received a medal of Distinguished Conduct.
I found him mentioned in a London Gazette from 1919 and Edinburgh Gazette of 1920. I'm not even sure of his full name.
I wanted to do a bit of research into this and found that he was from Skipton where my family came from. I grew up in Australia as my parents moved out here in 1978 so to learn a bit more about my family's involvement in this historical battle was really interesting to me as I've always had a fascination with the histories and stories of war.
