I PMed her, maybe that will trigger an email prompting her to log on. She was attempting to contact a different grandson and said she would get back to me.

That's really kind, thanks

Hope you and Suesmith17 hang around - we're a friendly bunch really, if a bit sweary and vulgar.

Will do, and I don't mind the sweary, vulgar thing As an aside, my Grandfather died before I was born but I found out that I followed in his footsteps without knowing it. RAF engineering followed by a slightly different career in engineering (tech of the day)

 

[Suesmith17]

Hi, Reginald Heathman was my maternal grandfather. His father was an architect in Bristol and designed the war memorial. Reginald, apart from joining the RAF at the end of WWI, went on to design trams (which are still running in Blackpool) and ended up as Chief Engineer of Liverpool (on the transport side). It was amazing to see your picture - obviously if you're not attached to it our family would love to get it into our ownership (totally understand if you collect this sort of thing). If you want any further information around him, just let me know. My mother was astounded to see the picture...

 

[Suesmith17]

Great result. Nice work platinumsage

Not sure. I've been sharing with all the Heathman cousins and nobody had heard of it. could be my Uncle Teddy's son in Preston who are the line from Reginald's first wife.

We're all friendly buggers really - this is a great little community and quite unusual really, compared to the wider internet. Not sure how common this is on internet forums but there have been a number of marriages/kids and lifelong friendships that have resulted from this site, and quite a few posters meet each other in real life. It's quite lovely really, and all credit to editor for creating the site and the mods for making it work.

That's him. Teddy was the only son from the first marriage - his first wife died. He had 3 daughters by his second wife, my grandma, who are all still with us albeit in their 80's and 90's. You've raised quite a bit of excitement amongst them

The internet is wonderful sometimes.

It looks like a an LSGC medal. (Long service and good conduct).

I've never seen one in the flesh, I left four months before I would have got mine.

Well, it looks like a "Regular Attendance and Satisfactory Conduct" medal to me, seeing as that's what's written on it.

With all due respect to RichardWin 's grandfather, if I received this medal I might feel a little damned by faint praise.

Once I got a "finisher" medal for a cycling race that I didn't take very seriously (in fact was not quite aware that it was supposed to be a race until one of the marshalls showed up and suggested we finish up our picnic and complete the route before he took the route markers away).

I did 12 years (plus one for free) and didn't qualify for a LSGC

 

[bimble]

I’d be very proud of a Satisfactory Conduct medal myself.
I got a ‘tried hard’ sticker once.

 

[RichardWin]

Just to let you all know that I've just had a chat with Sue Smith and she is going to send me the medal so that it's back with the family. What a wonderful lady. It's not for me to tell the back story but, Sue, you will be in my thoughts for ever.

RichardWin and Suesmith17 please ignore teuchter - he's our resident contrarian miserable sod.
