I am searching for the Second World War medals consisting of the 1939-1945 Star, Pacific Star, 1939-1945 War Medal and the 1939-1945 Australia Service Medal; awarded to Private Claude Anthony GILLIGAN. He served with the 2/20th Infantry Battalion, AIF on Malaya and was taken P.O.W. (Prisoner of War) of the Japanese. After more than 3 years of captivity, sadly he passed away on the 22nd of May, 1945. His date of death is mentioned on the World War Two Nominal Roll but strangely, he is not recorded on the Commonwealth War Graves Commission records.

I am looking for the Second World War Medals of James Henry MASLIN, my father who served in the Second AIF and actually has two service numbers. They are VX71718 and VX94049. He first enlisted on the 12th of January, 1942 and served with the 37/52 Infantry Battalion until the 20th of January, 1943. He appears to have re-enlisted on the 11th of January, 1944. On this second occasion, according to the World War Two Nominal Roll - he discharged on the 16th of September, 1947 as part of the Australian M Special Unit. Subsequently, I have a second listing under this earlier service number. Any information to assist my family in recovering this medal would be greatly appreciated.
