James Mason Rodger - MM & DCM

Post by darylrodger » Sun Oct 25, 2015 9:58 pm

Hi,

I'm hoping someone can tell me where I could find a photo of my late father in law Serjeant J.M. Rodger (or Rogers as misspelled in one newspaper) which was
published on the 30th July 1947. My husband is trying to locate an article headed 'They're proud of their son' which appeared along with a photo of James and
his parents,Robert & Catherine Rodger taken outside Buckingham Palace after his investiture.

Thanks,

Daryl

Do you know what newspaper it was published in?

Hi Andrew,

I'm afraid we don't, but think it's possibly an English paper though. I have already found a photo which was printed in the Scottish Daily Record, but it only has James and his mother in it. My husband would really like to find one of all 3 of them as it would be the only photo he would have of his grandfather, Robert.

I asked the Mitchell about other papers, but the only one was in the Daily Record.

Regards,

Daryl
