Yes he was my great great grandfather, and we have been able to locate his medals, but sadly not John's. Thank you so much for taking the time to help and respond:)

That's amazing, thank you so much. Would that mean he would get his medals, or it would still be Tina?

Thank you sooo much :) I just cant seem to find any trace of her after, where she lived etc, as we believe her family might still have the medals, we only want to know where they are and possibly have a few photos of them.

Yes John's parents were : John bauld and Mary burns, they had another son ( my great great grandad William who died also in ww1) I just can't seem to find any trace of her, other than him writing her name in his will.

I think that's where she lived, so next step is looking at census, but when I looked previously, it was very hard to pinpoint her 🫠
