Corps/Service:
Infantry
Country:
Australia
I am searching for the missing medals of my great grandfather, George Ernest OSBORNE. The First World War medals consist of the 1914-1915 Star, the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. According to the First World War Embarkation Roll, he left Australia aboard HMAT Benalla as part of the 8th Infantry Battalion, AIF. Sadly, he was killed in action on the first day of the Gallipoli landings - the 25th of April, 1915. It appears that the boat taking him ashore was hit, possibly by artillery and he drowned as a result. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission records (CWGC) indicate that he has no known grave and his name is commemorated on the Australian Memorial at Lone Pine. Any assistance in helping my family to recover these medals would be greatly appreciated.

I'm searching for the missing war medals of my late grandfather Lieutenant Eric Edward HARRISON, South African Artillery, who saw service in East Africa, North Africa and Italy during World War Two.
My grandfather gave me his war medals but they have not been seen since they were placed in a box that had been kept in storage. The medals were last seen in the Midrand area of Gauteng, South Africa between 1989-1991. I was very close to my grandfather and the loss of his medals has been a great loss to me and I would very much like to try find these medals.

I am looking for my Uncle's medals from World War One. The war medals consist of the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. He enlisted in 1917 at the age of 17 in the Royal Irish Fusiliers, in Dundalk Ireland. After his death in 1920 the family emigrated to Australia and no family member recalls ever seeing any of his medals. He enlisted under the name Myles Walsh, but on his grave it is M. WELSH, so not sure which name the medals will be under. I have subsequently made a duplicate listing under the surname of WALSH.
