My Grandmothers brother Daniel Fiddler and her cousin Edward Jamieson were among two of the crew who rescued the crew from 'SS Dinnington' .The crew were awarded silver medals for their bravery. My grandmother gave me Edward Jamieson's medal.
Does anyone know the whereabouts of the other medals? I'd be interested to know.
