The medals and other items belong on public display in a museum or WWII monument. I hope whoever buys them does the right thing and loans them permanently to a public institution so the items can be properly preserved and displayed, so future generations know about what this man did.
Well done commander, we need more example like you today.
Actually he was a group captain and I am proud to say my uncle!
What an amazing story, what a hero Ken Gatward was.....
What an amazing feat in the face of very intense opposition from the occupies.these must have been extraordinary people.
