Stuart Rae, who made the discovery, has described it as the 'most special thing they've come across'
A "quite special" WW2-era medal has been discovered at an Edinburgh waste centre. Staff at the NWH Group found the Commander of the British Empire in a pile of rubbish at the Leith site.
Steven Walker, who works for the NWH Group and was on site when the medal was discovered, told Edinburgh Live: "We can't trace it to where it's actually come from - if it's out the back of a skip or a household cleaners vehicle. "We're just really trying to get it back where it belongs, it was only yesterday that we've managed to get everything together to start pushing out on social media to try and return it to its right.
