Pte Wilfred Jacob Coram MM.
British Army 8th Btn Somerset Light Infantry
from:St Helier, Jersey
My grandfather Wilfred Coram won the Military Medal serving with the 8th Battalion Somerset Light Infantry and was previously in the Wiltshire Regiment. He was originally from St Helier in Jersey and returned there after the war only to be evacuated out from the island (along with the whole family including my father Edwin Coram)in 1940 to Stockport Cheshire where he again enlisted in the 2nd world war, he subsequently died in 1953 of TB at the age of 53.
I would love to know why he won the MM - what for and any other information regarding his time in the war
