QX49183 DUNCAN THOMAS MCGREGOR

QX49183 DUNCAN THOMAS MCGREGOR background was very difficult to piece together and the story following his death in 1966 was even harder to follow.
Following McGregor's death his wife married twice more. After her death in 2003, her third husband thought that McGregor's medals should go back to his family rather than being kept by someone who didn't know him at all.
That lead to yet another difficult search that tested everyone's research skill. That was until today when we tracked down McGregor's nephew and the medals will be returned to the family soon.
The returned medal tally is now 611.


The naming on this medal is a little unusual. It is slightly above centre on the edge rather than being right in the centre.
