TParker96 Posted 30 May , 2011 Share Posted 30 May , 2011 Hi, I am trying to find the medals for relatives in my family which appear to have gone missing. Rifleman James Arthur Gardiner R/24410 18th Battalion Kings Royal Rifle Corps Killed In Action: 14th June 1917 (We have his Great War Memorial Plaque) Private Charles Henry Brett 19231 Army Pay Corps (We know he recieved the Military Medal) Charles' medals were stolen from a YMCA Hostle in New York in the late 80's/early 90's when they were with relatives in Canada and got stolen when they were on there way back to England. Our family would love it if these medals could be returned to the family. Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TParker96 Posted 31 May , 2011 Author Share Posted 31 May , 2011 Hi, Thank you for your help. I found Charles Henry Brett's Military Medal being mentioned in the London Gazette on the 16th August 1917. But I found out that his Military Medal Must have been awarded to him under his previous regiment in the Royal Field Artillery because those are the deatails that were mentioned in the London Gazette. His details for his previous regiment are as follows: Gunner Charles Henry Brett 955597 Royal Field Artillery (Territorial Force) Tom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
