I wonder if anyone on the list can solve a small mystery for me?
I have been contacted by the niece of Andrew Houston, one of the heroes of
the Knockshinnoch disaster of 1950, and she has supplied photocopies of some
newspaper cuttings of the day.
One of these copies reports that Andrew Houston and David Park had been
awarded the George Medal.
I have a copy of the book "The George Medal" (Spinks) by W.H. Fevyer but
this only records 1940-1945. Is there another volume of this book which
covers 1946 onward? Does anyone have a copy and, if so, could they confirm
the detail of the awards for Park and Houston please?
