3. I am searching for my Grandfathers missing WW1 medals. They were sold at either Gawler or Elizabeth Cash Converters approximately 10 to 15 years ago without my knowledge. There is a chance they have been separated but he was awarded the 3 medals. I would love to have these missing war service medals returned to the family and any assistance would be greatly appreciated. I hope that the collector who purchased them would consider selling them back to me, I am prepared to pay an amount above their value which can be negotiated.

W.R.PARSONS
Medal Type: WW2 - Australian Four (Pacific)
Service No: NX150319
Corps/Service:
Infantry
Country: Australia
I am searching for my grandfathers medals from the second world war. The story goes that my uncle took the medals to someone to have the ribbons redone, before these medals could be returned he passed away without telling anyone whom had them for the repair. My uncle was based in Blayney so it is my understanding that they are around that area. I have the original miniatures it is only that large ones missing. His history in the force is hard to pin down as he bounce around several company's as follows
2 Anti tank
6 anti tank
2/14 Field regiment
52 Australian Transport Platoon which is the unit listed on the World War Two Nominal Roll (so his unit upon discharge from the AIF)
The name and Service number on the medals are;
W.R. PARSONS
NX150319
Any information would be greatly appreciated in finding theses medals. If someone has purchased these since I am happy to compensate with an added reward.
W.J.JONES
Medal Type: WW1 - M.M + WW1 Trio
Service No: 2768
Unit No: 19 Battalion
Corps/Service:
Infantry
Country: Australia
I am searching for the missing war service medals of William John JONES who served with the 19th Infantry Battalion, AIF during the Great War. The last known location of these missing war medals was at a pawn store in Russell Street, Toowoomba in 1947. William would often pawn his medals to buy food for his family, however sadly he passed away before picking them up on the last occasion. William John JONES was also awarded a gold fob with "Milton District War Service Medal" engraved on the reverse (Milton/Ulladulla NSW). I fully understand that a medal set such as this is highly collectible. I also realise that if somebody has these medals in their collection, that they may not wish to part with them. But my wife's family would be extremely grateful, just to learn that they are safe and valued. If you are the person who currently has custody of the medals and would consider selling them back to us, then we would very much appreciate it. Alternatively, if ever you decide to sell them in the future, we would be most grateful if our family was given first offer. I am an ex-serviceman myself and I dearly value the service of my fellow veterans and the medals which represent them.
H.M.PITTAWAY
Medal Type: WW2 - Australian Four (Pacific)
Service No: 15165
Unit No: HMAS Canberra & HMAS Australia
Corps/Service:
Navy
Country: Australia
My family is searching for the missing Second World War medals of my great grandfather, Henry Macdonald PITTAWAY. Henry served in the Royal Australian Navy during World War 2 on board the ships HMAS Canberra and HMAS Australia. Tragically his medals were accidentally discarded when a cabinet of a chest of drawers was placed out for street collection and we never got the medals back, once it was realised that the medals were missing. We are desperate to have these missing war service medals returned and any assistance would be greatly appreciated. As you can imagine, we are quite distraught that they were discarded in such a manner and hope that they are now in the hands of a conscientious collector who may be prepared to help us.

Looking for war medals, Record of Service book and photographs pertaining to Stanley Herbert SEIVER.
Lost many years ago.
Apparently sold on Ebay in 2015. Whilst this post states 'Pacific Star', all six medals awarded to Stanley Herbert SEIVER have gone missing. The full set consists of:- 1939-1945 Star, Africa Star, Pacific Star, Defence Medal, 1939-1945 War Medal and 1939-1945 Australia Service Medal. The World War Two Nominal Roll states that he was discharged as a member of the 2/28th Infantry Battalion AIF. It would be very much appreciated if the person who purchased the medals on ebay back in 2015 would kindly consider selling them back to my family.
