A Teddy Bear that was said to have been present during World War Two battles is set to go under The Hammer .
The Bear was A Gift to 76-year-old Tom Matthews, from Stafford, from his father after The War .

Mr Matthews' father served Royal Artillery 's 62nd anti-tank regiment in WW2Mr Matthews said the teddy was part of his father's War Story , adding: "My Father was given The Bear by A Teacher he was billeted with.
"He was humbled by The Gift as she had so little. She wanted him to take The Bear home for me as she was so appreciative of what he'd done. "
Mr Matthews added: "The Bear also crossed the Rhine, came under shell fire and took part in the Allies' victory parade in Berlin, sitting on dad's lap. "
Mr Matthews remembers The Bear being bigger than him When his dad first brought it homeMr Matthews and his wife, Mo, have No Children and no-one to leave The Bear to, and it has spent The Past 40 Years in their loft.
"I'd hate him to end up in a skip during house clearance because someone thinks he's just a scruffy old bear," he said.
"He's seen and done a lot of Things - More Than Most People . "
Mr Matthews hopes The Bear 's buyer will share his storyThe Bear is expected to fetch up to £600 When it goes up for auction at Hansons Auctioneers in London on 9 December.
