30 odd years ago I was introduced to Sgt Thomas Gray's niece. I mentioned that I had just been posted to Leeming and the barrack block I lived in was Gray Block, named after her uncle. She totally stunned me when she produced from her handbag HIS ACTUAL VC.

AFAIR, it was on it's way to be presented to a museum.

Boy, was I stunned.
