WAR MEDAL FOUND IN RHUBARB PATCH

A woman is trying to track down the family of a soldier after digging up his war medal in her rhubarb patch. Lynne Brown from Welshpool examined the medal (pictured) with a magnifying glass and discovered the name Private G Jones engraved on its edge, but so far she hasn't been able to trace his relatives. She thinks the medal was awarded for service in World War I. Lynne said: "I was tidying an area of my garden that hadn't really been dug properly for about 25 years. I was near the rhubarb patch when this object caught my eye. It was near to the surface and wasn't buried as such. To think that somebody had gone through all that and it's been left in the soil."



Let's hope she can find the soldier's family - there might be a story behind how it ended up in her rhubarb patch!
