"This man was wounded in 1917 and invalided out of the service after the war in 1919.”
Able Seaman Gregory’s effects include a black leather wallet embossed with his name and a Melton Road address, two dog tags and some paperwork relating to his service.
Mark added: “I thought that these items should be returned to any family if there are any.”
