Missing Medals

I am looking to re-acquire my grandfather's Second World War service medals. His name was Joseph YONKE. I recently ran across a listing for the U.S. Bronze Star awarded to him on a New Zealand auction site (?!) but have been unable to acquire. I am unsure if the missing medals were sold by a relative or somehow lost. Joseph YONKE served in the United States Army in World War II and was minimally awarded the Bronze Star and the Purple Heart. There may be other missing war service medals, but this is unknown. If whoever purchased my grandfather's medal during the auction in New Zealand would consider selling it back to my family, we would be extremely appreciative.

My great grandfather, David Horace WHINFIELD was awarded the Military Medal for bravery while posted with the Australian 60th Battalion in April 1918. According to the First World War Embarkation Roll, David Horace WHINFIELD boarded HMAT Nestor (A71) at Port Melbourne on 2 October, 1916. The medal he received was passed to my uncle and has not bee seen around 1990. The medal set, which includes the British War Medal and Victory Medal were last known to be in the area of Werribee, Victoria, Australia. After reading my great grandfathers diaries that he kept during the war I am attempting to see if the medal set is out there somewhere out of hope I can get it back to keep the legacy and memory of his inspiring actions for future generations of my family. If anyone out there has or had these medals in their possession please contact me.

My family is searching for the missing First World War Medals of E.C. GOOCH. The missing medals consist of the 1914 Star (also known colloquially as the Mons Star) the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. We're not sure if all three medals were sold together. We suspect that one may have gone missing some time ago and that two were sold in 2013/14 but we are unable to know for sure. My Aunt is in her 80's and we would like to get the medals back for her.
