Medals find family
The recent festivities at Rudd’s Pub enabled two World War I war medals to be returned to their family.
Simon Wilshire receiving the medals from Peter Glenn, relations of World War I friends Norman Tudberry and Gower Davis respectively.
Peter Glenn’s family had possession of war medals for a long time believed to be from his grandfather, Vincent Gower Davis.
Mr Glenn said upon taking the medals to a specialist, the name of their true owner was found.
Mr Glenn enlisted the help of Evan Jones to help find the family of Norman Tudberry from Pilton and not long after a living relation was found, great nephew, Simon Wilshire of Clifton.
Mr Wilshire said he will hold on to the medals until he can hand them over to Mr Tudberry’s granddaughters.
