              Finally the end comes for both Father and Son:

              Joseph E. Wagstaffe passed away in 1950.

              Alfred Wagstaffe passed away in 1978.

                Hope you enjoyed reading about another one of the few brave who earned the second highest award for valour short of the Victoria Cross for NCO's.

                -THE END-

                  Very very nice. The depth of research is marvellous - shows what persistence and hard work can tell us about something and someone almost 100 years old. Well done, that man!

                    Thanks Peter. Who knows how many even remember this fellow or the acts he performed during those times?

                          Stunning Darrell. I'm pleased you enjoy the depth of research that can be gleaned from British medals as much as I do.

                          I love Sjt Wagstaffe's perfect blend of modesty and gratitude in the Councillor Speech. That was my highlight, a Gent.
