Bring War Heroes Medals Home to Jedburgh
Donation protected
My Friend and Ex Kings Own Scottish Borders Soldier Stewart Beattie alerted me to a War Heroes Medals that were for sale on Ebay . This really made me sad to be honest . So we have been Investigating if this Soldier who was Killed in Action has any relatives locally to Jedburgh Scottish Borders and ideally we would like these medals to be returned to a family Memeber . These Investigations are on going so in order to ensure these medals stay in Jedburgh and hopefully one day returned relatives of Mr James Hume ive set up this crowd funding page . Ive Donated £50 to start the fund and if we reach £250 we can buy these medals and i will Donate theseto the Jedburgh Branch of The Royal British legion. If the fund goes over 250 the remainder will be donated to The Royal British Legion Jedburgh Branch .
