John Donald "Donald" Gallagher Mentioned in Despatches
British Army
from:Bolton Lancashire
Sadly I cannot tell very much about my Uncle Don except to say what a wonderful man he is.
I do know there was some story regarding his career in the Army during WW2 where he successfully held a German Machine gun post and was later commended for his act of bravery.
Uncle Don is 84 now and sadly had a stroke last Christmas.Although he cannot walk the stroke did not take away his wonderful ability to recount stories and discuss the latest novel.
All I know is that along with all the other brave lads who fought and served during the Second World War I am so very proud of him.
