According to my husband his grandfather was something of a hero. He was a Birmingham tram driver who saved someones life (lying across the tram track) and was subsequently awarded a set of three leather bound works of Shakespeare by the then mayor of Birmingham. These books were originally intended to be given to my husband but have somehow been lost via the passage of time.
His grandfathers name was Wilfred Alfred Bedson and he died in 1950 - I would love to find out more details of this event for my family research project and would be most grateful if anyone out there has any information or could provide links for me to pursue this myself. Thanks folks.
