| Many thanks POT ( Tom ) Crumpsall is a district in north east Manchester, i have moved three times in my life and have never been more than three miles from Crumpsall. your excellent detail will serve me well over the coming months.. does the phrase " sent to party " mean that his sag was sent to his known address?. such a sad end for Dawson, so little time in his effort to build a new life post service. cheers xhosa ( Les ) |

| Xhosa,
"Sent to party" does mean his medal was sent to whatever address the Navy had for him.
Only three time? I have moved over 20 times in my life, so far, including 2 years residing on Victory Road, Rainham, Essex in the mid-1950s.
