Bravery awardIn 1917 at age 18 my father was working for Adam, Grimaldi and co ltd, the aircraft manufacturers on the Albert Embankment, London, who made wooden aircraft for the first world war. He was given a bravery award for rescuing workers from a fire, who I believe included some the women who doped the wings.Contributed by:
