dutch701 Posted 14 February , 2013 Share Posted 14 February , 2013 HI ALL, I KNOW THIS IS A LONG SHOT AS MANY YEARS HAVE PASSED BY AND OVER THE YEARS MY GREAT GRANDFATHERS MEDALS HAVE BEEN LOST OR SOLD. HE WAS KILLED MISSING IN ACTION IN THE BATTLE OF GINCHY ON THE 12TH SEPT 1916. HIS NAME WAS, 7539 PRIVATE JAMES ARKWRIGHT LANCASHIRE FUSILIERS AND HE WAS ENTITLED TO THE BRITISH WAR MEDAL AND THE VICTORY MEDAL. WHAT WILL BE THE BEST WAY OF TRACING THESE MEDALS, IF ANY COLLECTORS OR DEALERS USE THIS FORUM PLEASE COULD YOU HELP ME OUT. ANY INFO WILL BE MUCH APPRECIATED BEST REGARDS SHANE.

asanewt Posted 15 February , 2013 Share Posted 15 February , 2013 Strangely I tried yesterday too and no response yet but more irritating was the registration which would not accept "looking for family medals" so had to choose "collector" ??

auchonvillerssomme Posted 16 February , 2013 Share Posted 16 February , 2013 You can try the Medal News medal tracker service. I haven't bought the Medal News for a few years so don't know how succesful it is. http://www.medaltracker.com/about.asp Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
