GraemeR Posted October 27, 2005 Share Posted October 27, 2005 I have just visited a few Museums in Edinburgh and Berwick. Managed to take quite a few pics of awards and medals.GraemePrivate R Dunsire The Royal Scots For conspicuous bravery on Hill 70 on 26th September 1915. Private Dunsire went out under very heavy fire and rescued and wounded man from between the firing lines. Later, when another man considerably nearer the German Lines was heard shouting for help he crawled out again with utter disregard for enemy fire and carried him to safety also. Shortly after this the Germans attacked over the same ground. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
