Hello Ian
a very interesting site,thanks for posting it on the Black Watch Forum.
You mentioned George,s medals,do you know if they were sent to his NOK? have you requested his service record? That should tell you if his medals were sent out and to who received them.Do not be fobbed off, if the next of kin did not receive them.
The form used for service records is MOD FORM 1694-APRIL 07
Good Luck
Joe
