I am searching for the Military Medal and First World War medals awarded to Lance Bombadier 62652 G.E.C. PITT RFA (Royal Field Artillery. The missing war medals are believed to have been sold in Bath, England.
I am seeking to find the First World War medals of my Grandfather, Neils Peter Anton BERTHELSEN. The medals consist of the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. Unfortunately when he returned to Australia he could not settle down and as a result of him moving around he lost his medals. The First World War Embarkation Roll records his name as Neils Peter Antone BERTHLESEN who served with the 9th Field Artillery Brigade. Subsequently, a duplicate listing under this spelling has also be submitted. Any assistance in helping my family to recover these missing war medals would be very much appreciated.
I am searching for the D.S.O. (Distinguished Service Order) and Order of Saint Stan-Islaus, awarded to Major George Frederick DICKINSON. Both these medals were lost in 2009-2011. Location unknown. My family is desperate for their return. The DSO and Order of St Stan-Islaus are not commonly issued medals and we are hoping that they are in the hands of a collector who is willing to return these missing medals. The First World War Embarkation Roll records that George Frederick DICKINSON left Australia aboard HMAT Ceramic from Port Melbourne on the 22nd of December, 1914. Any information regarding these two awards would be greatly appreciated.
I am searching for the Gallipoli medallion which was issued to my grandfather in 1967, Revett ELDRED. The First World War Embarkation Roll indicates that he left Sydney on the 15th of June, 1915 as part of the 7th Light Horse Regiment aboard HMAT Uganda (A66). I have the lapel badge that was issued to living ANZACs at the time, but the full size medallion is lost. This Gallipoli Medallion depicts the stars of the Southern Cross on one side and an image of Simpson and his donkey on the other side. It also bears the word ANZAC below the image of Simpson and his name "Revett ELDRED" is engraved on the reverse. Any assistance in helping my family to recover this missing Gallipoli Medallion would be very much appreciated.
I am searching for the First World War Medals (1914-1915 Star, British War Medal and Victory Medal) issued to William Clem Freak. The First World War Embarkation Roll indicates that he left Adelaide on the 2nd of December, 1915 aboard RMS Malwa as a Private in the 16th Infantry Battalion, AIF. However, during the large restructure of the AIF in Egypt, he was transferred to the 48th Infantry Battalion. He eventually was transferred to the 4th Australian Field Bakery. So whilst his medals are more than likely stamped with his unit as the 16th Infantry Battalion, they could reflect any of these units (in particular, the British War Medal and Victory Medal). He was also attached to the 12th Army Brigade, AFA (Australian Field Artillery) during the latter part of his service. Died age 35 in Strathalbyn, South Australia. Buried in free ground. The whereabouts of his missing war service medals is unknown and I would certainly appreciate their return to my family.
I am searching for the missing Military Medal of Lance Corporal Howard George ANDERSON of the 2/27th Infantry Battalion. Howard was born on the 10th of February, 1912 at Strathalbyn in South Australia. His next of Kin in the World War Two Nominal roll is listed as Frank Anderson (Father). According to the CWGC records (Commonwealth War Graves Commission) he was killed in action at Gona on the 29th of November, 1942 and is buried at the Bomana War Cemetary. Any assistance in helping me to find this missing Military Medal would be deeply appreciated.
I am searching for the Vietnam War service medals which were awarded to Kenneth Robert HANSEN, who is my late husband. Ken was in the 176 Air Dispatch during the Vietnam War. These medals have gone missing and as I am the next of kin, I would like to retrieve them. He was born in Subiaco Western Australia and served in Air Dispatch Company from 1969 - 1970 in Vietnam. I would be most grateful to have my late husband's medals returned to me.
I am the great great nephew of Private William James LANE. I am searching for the missing Memorial Plaque (colloquially known as a 'Dead Man's Penny') and war medals (British War Medal and Victory Medal) of William. They may be with a relative and if so, I am happy for them to remain so. But otherwise, if his medals are in the hands of a collector, I would appreciate it if they could be returned to my family. He died of influenza in England in 1918 and did not see service on the Western Front in France.
