Allan Reid and Alice nee
Gibson who were married in Stanley on 27th March 1953 (their wedding photo
is on the Wedding page). Allan served in the Royal Navy from May
1939 to December 1953. His medals are displayed in this photo and of
particular interest is the Yangtze bar shown on his General Service Medal
(GSM) on the right which he earned for taking part in the Yangtze incident
in 1949 onboard HMS London. Several people serving in HMS London
were killed and their names are displayed on a war memorial in St Georges
Centre Gillingham Kent. 
Stanley Welcome Home Fund. This certificate was sent in by Aleta Donaldson. Her Dad Allan Donaldson received it on return from war service in the Royal Navy during WWII. Another example of the public spirit of Stanley people which existed then.
