MEDALS OF CANADIAN WWI SOLDIER DONATED TO MUSEUM

Dick Johnson writes: "While it is not uncommon for a family to donate 
an ancestor's medals to a museum, this Canadian news story included 
mention of the British "death penny" mentioned recently here in E-Sylum 
(vol 9, no 46, article 16) November 12, 2006. 

Family member Chris Patterson said "It's like a piece of my great 
grandfather is coming home. He's back with his regiment." Patterson 
is a member of Winnipeg's Fort Garry Horse Regiment. The medals were 
donated to the Canadian Scottish Regimental Museum in Victoria."
