    1. [ENG-Buck] LEVI AUGUSTUS WOOTTON
    2. Helen Wootton
    3. This family lived in Old Bradwell mid to late 19th Century. Levi joined the Kings Rifles and served in Africa. In 1897 he was aboard the Warren Hastings when it went aground on Reunion. He was awarded the Silver Humanitarian medal and the LLoyds Bronze medal for saving life. To our delight we found them displayed in the Winchester Rifles Museum. However, and finally getting to the question. Would any lister be aware of newspapers of the day that might have recorded the event locally? He is rather an enigma in my husband's family not mentioned by any of them and dying in 1915. Thankyou. Helen Woootton
