Long-Lost Medals Reunited With Family of WWI Soldier
A set of First World War medals have been reunited with the closest-known relative of the soldier they were awarded to, after being discovered during a house clearance.
It's thanks to the detective work of an Army Careers Officer who made it his mission to find the family they belonged to.
He eventually concluded that the owner of the medals was Captain Albert Joseph Ferguson, who served with the Royal Field Artillery and later became a Major.
Major Steve Ansell had to narrow down a list of 6,800 officers, with just the knowledge that the medals belonged to a 'Captain Ferguson' to go by.
