Missing Medals

I am searching for the missing war medals of Bombadier Walter William STOODLEY who was born in Brisbane, Queensland in 1890. The National Archives Of Australia indicate that he enlisted into the AIF on the 28th of July, 1915. The First World War Embarkation Roll INCORRECTLY records his name as being Walter William STOODBY (this appears to be as a result of a clerical error during his enlistment). His missing war medals are the 1914-1915 Star, the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. He served with the 5th Field Artillery Brigade in the 13th Battery. Any assistance in helping me to recover these missing medals would be greatly appreciated.
