The story is about David Hay, who was born in East Lothian in 1921 and how he recieved the Albert Medal in 1941. Read the story here. http://www.eastlothiancourier.com/news/roundup/articles/2010/11/11/407142-amazing-gallantry-of-littleknown-hero-is-celebrated/ However I was was doing some research on War graves in Yester Parish Churchyard when I stumbled upon a link to this person. The family I was researching was that of the Marquis of Tweeddale. (see link below to read the rest) http://scottishwargraves.phpbbweb.com/viewtopic.php?t=1201 I have been intouch with the Imperial War Museum, and at time of posting await a reply. I will update when I have something to report.

Hopefully your detective work will see more information provided at the IWM.
