The Chairman of Burnham-On-Sea Royal British Legion has thanked a ‘mystery person’ for returning a cherished medal that he lost during Sunday’s Remembrance Parade through the town.
John Crosby, pictured, said it was a “shock” when he realised his Cold War Medal had gone missing at the Remembrance Sunday parade through Burnham-On-Sea.
“I was hugely relieved when an anonymous man riding a bicycle called in at the British Legion in Victoria Street later on Sunday.”
”He’d found the medal and was handing it in – it bears my name on the reverse which he’d recognised,” John told Burnham-On-Sea.com.
“I never got a chance to thank him because he’d left, but would just like to pass on how grateful I am.”
The Cold War Medal recognises service with British and Allied Forces during the Cold War (1945–1991). The medal features the flags of the Soviet Union, the United States, and the UK, with the dates 1945–1991.
