  • Edward Mott
    Edward Mott was a good friend of my Grandfather (William Bosher). They served together in the Border Regiment. My Dad took my Grandad to see Ted in July 1964 in Witney where he lived. I was 9 and I went with them. Ted gave me his VC miniature. This photograph was taken then, I think. It has 1964 on the back.
