After researching a Georgivs V BRITT 1914-1918 coin with a hole in the top I noticed on the edge of the coin a stamping that reads 21319 PTE. A.H. Cober 1-CAN INF. A google search lead me to your website. I'm sure that Albert Horace Cober of Hespeler, Ontario Canada was awarded this medal for some sort of heroic thing he did during his time. I only saw that he was wounded. I'm curious to know if he has any living relatives that would be interested in having this keepsake but I'm not sure how I would go about finding them. Is this something that you could help with?
