My Grandfather's medals are in the KOYLI museum in Doncaster. Harry Buckley was mentioned in dispatches many times and was awarded his DCM for rescuing wounded under fire whilst in charge of stretcher bearers. I'm not sure how he came to receive the Medal Militaire but he was badly wounded in 1916 and was made a 2nd Lt. Harry Buckley died in 1956 aged 72, he was 30
when he joined up in 1914.
