I am trying to find my grandfathers WWI medals. His name was Arthur Thomas COOPER and he was awarded the British War Medal and the Victory Medal. My grandfather received his medals from the Department of the Army in 1942. The medals were at my father’s house many years ago, but have gone missing. I have some of my grandfather’s WWI uniform badges and would love to find his medals.
