Missing Medals

G'day, My Grandfather's medals have not been seen for 40 to 50 years. The missing First World War medals consist of the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. According to the First World War Embarkation Roll, Robert FRASER left Australia aboard HMAT Anchises (A68) on the 24th of January, 1917 and so he was not entitled to the 1914-1915 Star. Any assistance in helping my family to recover these missing war medals from the Great War would be very much appreciated.

I am searching for the missing First World War medals of my grandfather, David Lee CHAMBERS. The missing medals consist of the 1914-1915 Star, the British War Medal and the Victory Meda. According to the First World War Embarkation Roll, David boarded HMAT Wiltshire (A18) on the 19th October, 1914 at Port Melbourne. At this time, he was on strength with the 4th Light Horse Regiment, AIF (Australian Imperial Force). Our Grandfather's Great War medals have not been seen for some time and the family would love to have them back. Our Grandfather was such a special part of our lives and kept his medals with pride. Would love to buy them back as they have so much personal meaning. Any assistance in helping to recover these missing pieces of our family history would be very much appreciated.

I am searching for the missing First World War Memorial Plaque which was struck to commemorate the life of my great uncle, David Edward BOUND. The missing award is the large bronze memorial plaque, also colloquially known as the "Dead Man's Penny". These were commissioned for all Commonwealth troops who paid the supreme sacrifice during the Great War. I have the 1914-1915 Star & the British War Medal, however the Victory Medal is also missing, resulting in a broken medal set. Dave Bound was my Grandmothers brother. According to the First World War Embarkation Roll, he boarded HMAT Euripides (A14) on the 20th October, 1914 at Port Sydney. At this time, he was on strength with the 4th Infantry Battalion, AIF (Australian Imperial Force). He also served in the Imperial Camel Corps. Sadly he lost his life in account of the war and the Commonwealth War Graves Commission records (G.W.G.C) indicate that lies buried in the Gaza War Cemetery. He was the son of William and Rose Bound, of Sheffield, Tasmania. Born at Latrobe, Tasmania. His Victory Medal is also missing and I have placed this in a seperate listing. Any assistance in helping my family to recover these missing pieces of our history would be very much appreciated.

I am searching for the missing First World War Medal which was awarded to my great uncle, David Edward BOUND. The missing award is the Victory Medal which was issued to many Commonwealth troops during the Great War. I have the 1914-1915 Star & the British War Medal, however the Victory Medal is missing, resulting in a broken medal set. Dave Bound was my Grandmothers brother. According to the First World War Embarkation Roll, he boarded HMAT Euripides (A14) on the 20th October, 1914 at Port Sydney.

My family is searching for the missing First World War Medals of my grandfather, Hector Norman COLE. The war medals consist of the 1914-1915 Star, British War Medal and the Victory Medal. My grandfather joined the AIF and was assigned to the 8th Light Horse Regiment. He was initially allocated the service number 1495, but according to the First World War Embarkation Roll, he re-enlisted and actually left Australia on two more occasions with two more different service numbers. The second embarkation was aboard the SS Mahai on the 16th January, 1918 with the service number of 95 and his third deployment took place on the 14th of September, 1918 under the service number of 3120. On both of these latter deployments, he was serving with the Australian Remount Section which explains his multiple departures from Australia. Whilst his 1914-1915 Star is more than likely under his original number of 1495, his British War Medal and Victory Medal could be under either of his latter service numbers. The missing medals left our family under very unfortunate circumstances which have upset our family. We would be most grateful if they could be returned to us. Otherwise, we would be particularly happy just to know that they are safe and are being cared for. I am Susan, Hector's eldest surviving grandchild and I would appreciate it if the current owner of the medals would contact me via the Medals Gone Missing website.

I am trying to find the missing Great War medals belonging to my great grandad, Corporal George TURNER. The missing medals consist of the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. They disappeared from my great uncle's house when he died and no one knows what happened to the medals. His First World War medal card states that George served with the Ox and Bucks Regiment and the Worcestorshire Regiment. He may have had two different service numbers, these being 25220 or 44317 and I am not sure what may be stamped on the medals. Thanks.

I am searching for the original Second World War medals which were awarded to my father, Murray Thomas BARLING. The medal set consists of the 1939-1945 Star, Africa Star, Pacific Star, 1939-1945 War Medal and the 1939-1945 Australia Service Medal. The missing medals were left to my younger brother and for one reason or another they cannot be found. My father, Murray Thomas BARLING was born on the 2nd of January, 1923 at Dubbo in New South Wales. According to the World War Two Nominal Roll, he enlisted into the RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force) on the 24th April, 1942 and discharged from the 9 Aircrew Training Unit in 1946. I was printing a book on the Barling family and required a photo of dads medals, that is when they discovered they could not find the medals. If by any chance the medals can be found the family will only be too happy to pay the asking price or whatever we have to do to get them back. Dads name and number are stamped on each medal. All the best Terry

I am searching for the missing First World War medals of my father, Victor Horatio Buller SAMPSON who was an officer with the 19th Infantry Battalion, AIF. According to the First World War Embarkation Roll, my father boarded HMAT Ceramic (A40) on the 25th of June, 1915 at Port Melbourne. He was a Major at this time. I am very anxious to have these medals returned to my family for myself and my grandchildren. If you have these missing medals in your collection, I would be most grateful if you would consider their return. Yours sincerely. Marie Sampson

I am searching for the missing war medals of my great grandfather, Sergeant Frederick Henry HOLMES. The missing war medals may consist of the 1914-1915 Star, British War Medal and Victory Medal. We believe that he served on Gallipoli with the 1/15th Battalion of the Norfolk Regiment. However, we also have conflicting information that he enlisted in 1917, so he may not have been the recipient of the 1914-1915 Star. He was commended for bravery (possibly Mentioned In Dispatches) as he was mentioned in an Article in the London Gazette supplement on the 1st May, 1918. Any assistance to help us to recover these missing war medals would be very much appreciated.
