Well that's interesting!
Gregg, a New Brunswick Liberal MP from 1947 to his defeat in 1957, was a decorated veteran of the First World War. After his death, his widow had placed his medals, which included the Victoria Cross, on permanent loan at the Royal Canadian Regiment Museum in London, Ontario. They were stolen on Christmas Eve 1978, some nine months after his death.
