Missing Medals

I am searching for the Second World War medals of Flying Officer John Andrew FRENCH. He was born on the 7th of December, 1922 at Bondi in New South Wales. The World War Two Nominal Roll indicates that he enlisted into the RAAF (Royal Australian Air Force) on the 31st of January, 1942. He discharged on the 25th of January, 1946 and his unit on discharge was the No. 3 Ferry Unit. We have not seen his missing war medals for some time and any assistance in their recovery would be appreciated. His medal group consisted of the Australian Four (1939-1945 Star, Defence Medal, 1939-1945 War Medal and the 1939-1945 Australia Service Medal) as shown in the image.

I am very keen to find the whereabouts of the missing World War 2 service medals which were posthumously awarded to my Great Uncle, Dennis ROWLANDS. My great uncle was a Stoker on HMS Quentin and was killed in action on 2 December 1942. His group comprise 1939 - 1945 Star, Atlantic Star, Africa Star with Africa 1942 - 1943 Bar and the 1939 - 1945 War Medal. The war medals were issued in the 1950s to my Great Grandmother H. Rowlands. Any assistance in helping my family to recover these missing war medals would be greatly appreciated.

I am searching for my great grand uncle's missing Memorial Plaque, also known as a "Dead Man's Penny" or Death Plaque. His war service medals are also missing and have also been listed seperately. The First World War Embarkation Roll indicates that he boarded HMAT Themistocles at Sydney on the 5th of October, 1915. He formed part of the 1st Battalion, 11th Reinforcements. James Albert LEWIS was killed in action in France on 5/11/1916 after initial reports of sightings of him being injured. The Commonwealth War Graves Commission records indicate that he has no known grave and his name is commemorated on the Villers Bretonneux Memorial. He was the son of Leo John LEWIS and Annie LEWIS of Mornbrie Street, South Granville. We have receipts signed by his father Leo Lewis, so we know our family definitely received these medals. They have not been seen by anyone in our family for quite some years so we are unsure of what happened to them.

I am trying to locate missing medals of my great uncle, Daniel JONES, born in Charters Towers, QLD. His next of kin was his step-brother Thomas Ace & his mother, Martha Thompson.

Driver Daniel JONES. He never married & I believe a relative sold his medals or gave them away.

I am looking for my relatives lost medals. Arthur Jackson LEESE. The First World War Embarkation Roll indicates that he left Sydney on the 12th of May, 1915 aboard HMAT Themistocles (A32) with the 17th Infantry Battalion. At this time, he was serving under the serial number of 255, however at some time, his serial number was altered to 4049 and this is reflected in his service record on the National Archives of Australia file. The change was possibly when he was transferred to the 4th F.C.E (Field Company Engineers) Subsequently, I have duplicated this request under both service numbers, as I am not sure what numbers are stamped on each individual war medal. He was awarded the 1914-15 Star, British War Medal, and Victory Medal. The medals were lost in a recent removal and my family would be very grateful for their return, should somebody have found them.

I have made a duplicate listing under the other service number, but they both relate to the same medal set.
