Harold Bride, the surviving Titanic Marconi telegraph operator, will have his World War I medals (and other memorabilia) auctioned off on November 19 by Morton & Eden in London. He was awarded both the British War and Victory medals for his service. After serving in WWI, he married Lucy Downie and moved to Scone. Later the couple moved to Glasgow where he worked at the Provan Hall Museum as caretaker and manager. He passed away in 1956.

The medals and other items are expected to fetch up to £10,000 ($13,136 USD).
