Residents in Scots town bring WW1 hero soldier's medals home at auction

Three medals awarded to a WW1 Dunblane soldier were unveiled in the town last Sunday, November 6.

Sgt Charles Robbie, husband of Isabella D Hepburn Robbie of ‘Le Normand’, Dunblane, joined the Army in November 1914 and was killed on the Western Front on April 9, 1917.

His medals - the British War Medal, Victory Medal and Bronze Star - were bought by townsfolk after they learned of their auction and set up a fundraiser.
