Unfortunately, the son seems to be rather distant and unwilling to assist.
No information concerning the dates on the sword and, if the son wanted, could have offered to copy some of the existing photos for you.
Maybe you should ask if you could pay for the copy service concerning any futher military photos in the album and one might be at the award of the sword or one in which he is wearing a sword??
