Was it a ASDA box where they reward high performing shelf stackers with a trip to the JPT final?
Your second line is true. | |

Harold Davidson, also known as the Rector of Stiffkey, the Prostitutes' Padre, was very entertaining. After he'd saved a number of fallen women for himself, he was convicted of immorality by a church court. Davidson strongly protested his innocence and to raise funds for his legal campaign, he exhibited himself in a barrel on the Blackpool seafront. He performed in other sideshows of a similar nature, and died after a cage fight with two lions in a spectacular seaside show in Skegness. [Post edited 9 Mar 2020 15:39]

You are stretching it a bit now 22 - but as he has (well did have I think) an Season Ticket at SMS, you may also be sitting next to him then?
And I actually preferred Mylo Xyloto, but what has taste got to do with opinion  |  | | |

Will still does have a season ticket, as does his dad, though he doesn't go so often anymore (for obvious reasons), in fact his whole family were/are big Saints fans, his mum (sadly gone) used to go before she passed too. |  | | |

What medals did he win? |
The ones in the first picture. I 'm no expert but I guess they were just campaign medals for his service as a naval chaplain on several ships during the First World War.
~Davidson was 39 years old at the outbreak of war in 1914. In October 1915, he joined the Royal Navy as a chaplain. He began his service on HMS Gibraltar, a depot ship based in the Shetland Islands, where he irritated his shipmates by calling church parades every time another ship visited the anchorage; he had the full approval of the base commander, Vice Admiral Sir Reginald Tupper, who was known as "Holy Reggie".
Davidson's service report from Gibraltar's captain records that "he performs his duties in a perfunctory manner. Not on good terms with messmates, disregards mess rules and regulations".In October 1916 Davidson joined HMS Fox in the Middle East, and shortly afterwards was arrested by the naval police during a raid on a Cairo brothel. Again his commanding officer's reports were negative; however, Davidson remained with the Fox until August 1918 when he was posted to HMS Leviathan in the northern Atlantic. Here, his commander was slightly more complimentary; he found Davidson "a clever writer and entertainer " [Post edited 10 Mar 2020 11:30]

Ah okay, I was hoping you had some interesting stories of derring do ie medals won rather than issued.
Probably the 1914-15 Star, Victory Medal and British War Medal. | |
