Uncle Ralph in his Cameron Highlanders Uniform.Thank you to my Dear Sheila Sutton nee Edwards (Ralph's Niece for sharing this photo with me). I was able to purchase Ralph's War Medals from an Antique Store in Plymouth and I now have them safe with me in Australia- always to be remembered and honoured. Thankyou to Ralph and all the Brave Men and Women who served for us. Our Generation can never repay the debt for your Bravery.
