    FROST Robert francis Albert Birmingham-Solihull

    I have looked at the registers - in 1980 both Robert and Gudrun were listed at 69 Faulkner Road but neither was there in 1981. We know Robert died in September 1980 but I couldn’t find any information on what happened to Gudrun.

    Can anyone recommend a free video editor please? I've tried VideoPad from NCH software but they seem to want quite a hefty payment for continued use. P.S. Should have added 'easy to use!!!'

    Birmingham Family-related Mementos

    This medal is inscribed with my grand-dad's name and 1943. He lived with us during WW2 and as far as I know he was a 'fire-watcher' (in Birmingham), having previously served in WW1. Can anyone tell me anything about this medal please?
