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 WELSH.

United States Army (U.S. Army) dogtag from the Second World War. This dog tag (also known as "meat tags") was issued to Private Robert D. McCULLOUGH whose serial number (service number) was 33008493. He was born in Iowa but resided in Fairfax County, Virginia before he enlisted into the Army during World War 2. He signed up on the 5th of April, 1941 from Baltimore in Maryland. It is believed that he served with either the 126th Regiment of the 32nd Division or the 163rd Regiment of the 41st Division; both of which served in the Sanananda area on the north east coast of New Guinea (where this dog tag was found). This dog tag is NOT for general sale and will only be returned to the descendants of Robert D. McCULLOUGH upon strong proof of relationship. The dog tag is still in the hands of Annanius Mongagi of Sanananda Village at the northern end of the Kokoda Track. Please visit the ARTICLES OF INTEREST to read the full story of this dog tag. Stories are titled "U.S. Serviceman's Dog Tag (126th Infantry or 163rd Infantry) Found at Sanananda Battlefield" and the second story "U.S. Serviceman Identified as Private Robert D. MCCULLOUGH - from Fairfax Virginia".

Would like to return this medal to the family of the recipient; Lieutenant P.H. SYKES. The medal is the silver British War Medal and it was in the same box as those belonging to my great-grandfather, who became a priest after the war. My great-grandfather served in the Grenadier Guards (also earlier in the Cambridge Regiment). It is my suspicion that Lieutenant P.H. SYKES was a good friend of my great-grandfather. Proof of descendancy required, and preferably information as to the relationship with my great-grandfather. I can be contacted through the Medals Gone Missing Administrator or telephone 044 9692401

My family is searching for the Africa Star which was awarded to Private Gordon (Mark) DRUMMOND who served with the 2/16th Infantry Battalion, AIF. Whilst he enlisted under the christian name of Gordon, he was known to his mates as 'Mark'. This medal was taken to Carey Park Primary school, Western Australia in 1968 with 5 other medals (1939-1945 Star, Pacific Star, Defence Medal, 1939-1945 War Medal and the 1939-1945 Australia Service Medal. These war medals where shown as news by my brother. The Africa Star never came home. It devasted my gran, as my grandfather had passed away and a replacement would not be issued. I would love for it to come back to the family so that I can mount it with the other 5 medals still in our possession.

The First World War Embarkation Roll indicates that he departed Fremantle on the 12th of February, 1916 aboard HMAT Miltiades. It appears that he originally left Australia as part of the 28th Infantry Battalion, and transferred whilst on deployment. Sadly, he was killed in action (KIA) between the 14th & the 16th of August, 1916 during the battle of Pozieres. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) records indicate that he was buried at the Pozieres British Cemetery, Ovillers-La Boisselle. He was also entitled to the British War Medal.
