British paratroopers

This is my uncle Jack who joined the Green Howards(Yorks Reg) in 1942 and was decorated in the field by General Montgomery with the MM medal and was killed on the 9/8/1944 aged 21.
My grandma and granddad then went to be presented with his medal at Buckingham palace by the then King in 1946.
