Albert Samuel Rose known as Sam by his family, is my Great Uncle. He was born 19th November 1895. He was the only boy of 12 children. He died aged 20. He has a grave in Berles-Au-Bois graveyard in France. I only found one old photos of him and have no other information about him. He was awarded 3 medals and I have a copy of his medal roll. He had the Victory medal, British medal and the 1915 Star. Where these medals are I have no idea. I would love to be in possession of them or have photo evidence of them. I know that all medals were inscribed at the back. If anyone knows about my great uncle or has any other information, it would be greatly accepted.
