After more than a month of searching, students and staff at Belmont Secondary school finally reunited Vic West resident Sharon Hoover with a World War One medal that belonged to her great-great uncle, George Alexander Doty. Doty served in a number of the major battles in WWI including Vimy Ridge, Hill 7, Passchendaele and Flanders. After surviving the war, he was awarded the medal and on Wednesday, Dec. 13, the medal was restored and handed over to Doty's descendants at the school's learning commons.
