I even visited his grave but it was a long walk for an old man. I couldn't do it now.

His name was James Mulroy. And he was presented with his medal in 1924, in Pheonix Park, Dublin, by Walter Scott himself. He is my relative. He retired from the Irish Police in 1962. I have photos and a picture of him at my parent's wedding back in 1962.<br /><br />Let me know if you would like to see these pictures.<br /><br />ThanksAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12091029371329271569noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1433938713207283472.post-7676617801730716822010-04-11T16:36:24.290-07:002010-04-11T16:36:24.290-07:00I have in my possession an old leather bound book ...I have in my possession an old leather bound book titled "One Hundred Best Novels Condensed" that also has printed "Special Edition printed for Colonel Walter Scott for distribution among his friends - Christmas 1931" There is a business card in there that says "The Seasons Greetings" signed by Walter Scott.
