Want to reunite medals - Lieut G.H. Henderson & Lieut P.H.Sykes

Have come into possession of Lieut G.H. Henderson's Victory & BWM, and Lieut P.H. Sykes BWN. None of them have the ribbons, and they were with my gt-grandfather's medals (Charles Sigismund deCerjat). I have no idea why my gt-grandad had them, and I would like to reunite them with their families if at all possible.

Failing that, I would like some history (if anyone knows of it) of either of these two soldiers.
