Despite at least three generations of defence service in my heritage between my Dad, my Uncle Russell and Uncle Robbie, my Pop and my Great Great Uncles, I’d never really considered the military for myself until I discovered Army Cadets. I swear my soul knew the instant that I joined that I was finally on the path to finding ‘my people’...
We are often asked to identify medals from photographs, which usually arrive via email, but Rick didn’t have email, so he took a 3 hour bus trip with this photo of his dad to ‘drop’ into the store to show us, and ask which medals he would have received for his WW1 efforts, before heading back out of town on another 3 hour bus trip!
