Hi, I have in my possession a British War Medal to the above receipiant that was in my Father's possession and handed on when he died recently.

I don.t think it is Australian as there isn't any known soldier with this serial no. on the A.W.M.data base.

Would be interested on how and when this medal got here.

Cheers;David

Hi Terry, thanks a million for the info.

With my fathers' recent death, I am going through boxes of personal effects and as an avid collector and a military background, he would often pick up medals, medallions,etc. Where he picked up this and a number of other WW1 items that are non family related has been an interesting exercise.

One that I traced back to a local identity and the family letters inquiring as to the whereabouts of his medals are sad as aa number of family members had inquired and requested a duplicate set in the 60's.

Will try to give them back if possible.

Cheers, David
