Missing Medals

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 searching for the First World War medals which were issued to my Grandfather, Allan DUNN. The First World War Embarkation Roll indicates that he left Brisbane on the 24th of September, 1914 aboard HMAT Omrah. His medals were issued for service in Gallipoli and France/Belgium. They consist of the 1914-1915 Star, British War Medal and the Victory Medal. Any assistance in helping my family to recover these medals would be greatly appreciated.

I am looking for 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 latter service number. Any information to assist my family in recovering this medal would be greatly appreciated.

Seeking the one missing medal awarded to my grand-uncle, Bertie HENRY, who died in France during 1918. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission (CWGC) records indicate that he was killed in actioin on the 24th of March, 1918 and is buried at Grand-Seraucourt British Cemetary. My family is in possession of his Victory Medal and his Memorial Plaque (also known as a Dead Man's Penny or Death Plaque) however his British War Medal is missing and we would be very grateful to have it returned to our family.

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 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.
