I have not seen my grandfathers medal engraved with his number on the back, #1201 for some time, plus a medal my husband's grandfather was awarded in the South of France, it wasn't a recognised medal, it was for a shooting competition, which I understand they held regularly. If anybody has any knowledge of where they could be, my family would very much appreciate hearing from you.
