The medals of James and Charles Penson. EMN-210203-200038001
William Alvey School carried out a research project to trace the details of all 72 of its former pupils that served and died in the First World War, leading to a plaque being erected on the wall outside.
They are currently renovating a Second World War air raid shelter within the grounds to become a museum and learning resource for pupils.
Now they have been contacted by collector Darren Howlett, the current owner of the medals that were awarded to former Alvey pupil Charles William Penson and his father, James Ambrose Penson. He is willing to sell the medals to the school and return them to the town.
