Len Steadman
My brother was in Korea. His name was Len Steadman. He was with the Princess Pat's, and he was a Sergeant. This is a picture of him in Korea in some kind of a compound, with wire around and so on, but he was receiving the Military Medal.
The only thing that I know, and I got this from my son and my sister, was that he took a platoon through enemy fire, and he captured a strategic position afterwards, and that's why he got the Military Medal. It's in a book on the Korean War, because I did see it. There were only two that got the Military Medal in Korea and he was one of them.
