I am looking for living relatives of WW1 hero and VC recipient Henry Tandey VC, DCM, MM (30 August 1891 – 20 December 1977).

If anyone has any information regarding Tandy's descendants I would love to hear from you.

Thanks,

Alex

Welcome to the boards, Alex.

Where have you looked for descendants, e.g. any obituaries, or if he is in anyone's tree on here?

There is a lot of information about him on a simple google search.

Added:
This is from wikipedia:
'Post-war years
Tandey returned to Leamington and married. Tandey died in 1977, childless, at the age of 86.'

There are some great nieces or nephews on this chain, work your way down:
