257978 Sgt. George Gow Bethune MM & Bar. British Army 8th Btn. Seaforth Highlanders from:Dunbeath, Caithness George Bethune was my uncle. He was awarded the Military Medal and Bar and for many years I have tried to ascertain the reason for these awards. It is still an ongoing task. He was wounded in WW1. However, he lived a full life until his death in 1976. He became a postman and walked many miles in winter to a hamlet far away from our village just so the folks there would get their letters. Of course as with many people we didn't get the full story from George of his war history. His brother Donald served in WW1 with the Highland Light Infantry. Another brother William (my father) also served with the Seaforths and a fourth brother David was killed while serving with the Canadians in 1916. I am so very proud of them all and will pass on all the information that I have to my grandchildren. Thank you.
