EBay trader John Langley, who travelled to her house to buy the items, was so shocked to be offered the mementos that he tracked down the dead soldier's fiancee and gave her the medals for free.
"I'm on income support and hard up. I did what I thought was best," Elaine, a single mother with a 14-month-old boy named after Rob, was quoted as saying by the Daily Express.
The sister of a British soldier who was killed in Afghanistan sold his medals and uniform on eBay, so that she could buy clothes to enjoy her holiday on Mediterranean cruise.
Royal Marine Rob Deering, 33, was killed in Helmand province in Afghanistan in December 2008 when he stepped on a booby trap while trying to help injured comrades.
His 37-year-old sister - Elaine - inherited his four war medals, his uniform and an inscribed memorial shell casing. But a year later, she sold the entire lot on eBay for 1,100 pounds.

That stupid little selfish bitch. IF she needed the money, use it for food and clothes and rent for you and your child, not a cruise.
And to John Lanley, God Bless You for doing the right thing.
And Rob Deering, RIP and thank you for your service to the Royal Marines!
Why would someone pay for someone else's medals?
To be able to pretend on the internet that one is a war hero?Why would someone pay for someone else's medals?
It's a murkin thang.Ugh. At least the story has a bright spot.

Is it mean of me to ask why a single mom on income support is cruising?
I suppose there could be cultural differences, but it's hard to believe UK people don't honor their dead soldiers just as we do. No matter how you slice it, this woman and her mom both come off smelling like shit.
