Homecoming certificate
A welcome home certificate. This was presented by the Parish of
Torthorwald to Alexander Young.
Servicemen occasionally received tokens of recognition from
their home towns and parishes. Medals, watches and decorative
scrolls were typically presented to add to official service medals
and gallantry decorations. Names were often added to a Roll of
Honour at a work place or in a local community building such as the
town hall.
Many local parishes created their own unique commemorative
certificates to present to men returning from World War One. These
were often highly decorated with calligraphy and
images.
