Scott Addington

A long time historian and medal collector, Scott Addington has always been fascinated by the individual stories that make up the wider picture of military history. This intrigue lead him to find out more about the men behind the medals.

Being able to connect people with their military ancestors and see how it touches families, has been the main motivation for growing his business and compiling data to author, ‘For Conspicuous Gallantry’ publications, which are the most complete reference to the winners of the Military Cross and Bars to date.
