Richard Morris HAY ON WYE
Jim Morris (DOUSTY)is my grandfather and fought in the 2nd world war from the start to the end and was in the desert rats 8th army. My farther said his dad never saw him until he was about 2 years old as he was away fighting. He was awarded many medals which included The Africa star. The Africa bar. The France (& Germany star. The Italy star. The 1939-1945 star. The Dunkirk Medal.The 1939-1945 Defence Medal.And One more that looks like Defence Medal but has red ribbon with two blue lines on the outside and two white lines inside of them. Eight in total. My Father said he would never wear them and put them in the bin. Only my Gran (Birdie) got them back out of the bin and put them away.

Do you recognise anyone in these photos? Do you have old photos of your family in Mid Wales?
