Memorabilia
My father, Maj. A.G. MacIsaac RCA, put this all together in this frame. Gordon actually lied about his age. He was born in 1900. It has the Widow's Penny and his mother's Silver Cross. If you wish, contact my father. He's 89, sharp as a tack, and has ALL the details of how he was killed in action from Gordon's best friend who was with him when he was killed, and lived to make it home and tell the family what happened. Thanks Uncle Gordon, for giving your life for a wretch like me.
