That's what I was thinking, Mary.
If the John Hamilton who was given 12 months hard labour for stealing Mr Harryman's car is Merry's OH's mysterious John Claude Hamilton, then that would explain why the medals were forfeited.
Initially, John Hamilton was a driver with the RFA - that may refer to horses, but could mean he drove a motorised vehicle.
The 'gang' would have needed a driver in order to make off with Mr Harryman's car.
