William's Medal Certificate.
 This is William's medal certificate,as you can see from the picture on the left William never got to wear them with the pride he should have felt at serving his country, as they where given to him after his death. It says on the certificate that Daisy Fielding recieved them, there where no ribbons with the medals because they where awarded after his death.
I still have had no luck in tracing the where abouts of his medals.
