Sergeant John Forbes Symon
The memorial plaque for John Forbes Symon was found by myself in my father in laws garage in Nairn, Scotland. I have found no family link between my father in law and John and as yet have found no surviving family member to which I can pass the plaque to, though my search continues. In the meantime his Plaque sits with my medals and that of my grandfather and father in law so I continue to honour his name and sacrifice.
