D-Day veteran’s lost medals plea

A BLIND veteran is appealing for the return of his Second World War medals after he lost them at a service station.

Alfred Barlow, 95, from Stockport, Greater Manchester, was returning home earlier this month from a trip to Normandy, where he landed on D-Day.

He stopped at Norton Canes services on the M6 Toll on Thursday, June 8 – but when he returned his wife and grandson noticed his four medals were missing.

Mr Barlow has received support from Blind Veterans UK and is asking for anyone with information on the medals to contact the charity on 0800 389 7979.
