Alex: Thank you for the link. I read through the story and was blown away about the story and coming auction for Tommy's medals. August 9th is coming up really fast... I wonder if tons of letters appealing to the "owner" of them to "give them back" would help at all? Inundate with appeals??? I'm going to pass along the link and the story to everyone I know.

I didn't see mention of the Royal Winnpieg Rifles... but did come across the info somewhere. Will try find that site and maybe get in touch with the RWR Museum to ask them directly too, if he indeed was with them briefly.
