My Great Grand Fathers (William Joseph PURCELL) Medals were sold by a Great Auntie many years ago. I am current serving member, each generation has served since William did, I am attempting to restore the families collection of medals to pass down one day. Last known to be sold in March 2003 by Nobles Numismatics in Syd - they can't contact buyer. It should be his full rack including: Distinguished Conduct Medal (GVR); British War Medal 1914-18; Victory Medal (MID); British War Medal 1939-45; Australia Service Medal 1939-45. I have done extensive research and have the full history and service records for all relatives. It would be a great honor to our entire family get them back or at least be able to hold the originals.

The First World War medals of Private Claude AUBIN are missing. His service number was 2341 and he served in the Australian Imperial Force as a member of the 2nd Infantry Battalion. Claude AUBIN and his brother Cyril enlisted in Sydney NSW on 28th May 1915 and were attached to the 2nd Battalion AIF. The brothers both served on the Western Front (Cyril KIA) and Claude was invalided home to Australia in 1916. The whereabouts of his WW1 medal trio is unknown. This medal set consists of the 1914-1915 Star, British War Medal and Victory Medal. Any information would be very much appreciated.

Looking for war medals, Record of Service book and photographs pertaining to Stanley Herbert SEIVER. Lost many years ago. Apparently sold on Ebay in 2015. Whilst this post states 'Pacific Star', all six medals awarded to Stanley Herbert SEIVER have gone missing. The full set consists of:- 1939-1945 Star, Africa Star, Pacific Star, Defence Medal, 1939-1945 War Medal and 1939-1945 Australia Service Medal. The World War Two Nominal Roll states that he was discharged as a member of the 2/28th Infantry Battalion AIF. It would be very much appreciated if the person who purchased the medals on ebay back in 2015 would kindly consider selling them back to my family.

I am searching for the missing First World War Memorial Plaque (colloquially but incorrectly known as a 'Death Plaque') which was commissioned in memory of Trafford Cyril PETTIGREW. Trafford Cyril PETTIGREW is my great-uncle and his service number was 505. He served with the 7th Battalion and tragically was killed in action on 25/04/1915, North Beach, Anzac Cove. The plaque was taken by deception from my father, Joseph Cyril Pettigrew, in Sydney around 2000-2003, before he died. The person involved purported to represent some sort of museum and took the plaque on loan for a display. My father, an ex-serviceman VX21279, was in his eighties. Also missing, although I believe legitimately to have been lost, are Traff’s Trio consisting of the 1914-1915 Star, British War Medal and Victory Medal. In 2018 the Department of Defence Honours and Awards section were gracious enough to allow me to claim Traff’s Commemorative Medallion as his nearest surviving next of kin. To me, the plaque represents not only Trafford Cyril’s bravery and sacrifice, but also the sons, uncles and cousins that were never to be. Thanking you for your time and consideration, Respectfully yours, Lindsay Trafford Pettigrew.

Donald GRANT was born in Nigg, Scotland. He fought at the battle of Maida and received the general service medal for his actions there. He was with the 78th Regiment of Foot (Ross-shire Buffs). We believe the medal and bar ended up in New Zealand and we would dearly like to locate it.

I am in possession of the Memorial Plaque commemorating an Australian soldier named Ernest Albert McCORMACK. The Memorial Plaque was given to me by a tree arborist in Yass NSW. It appears to have been in their family's possession for over 50 years and he informed me that he can remember player with it as a child. The Memorial Plaque was given to him by his father. It may have come into his possession from a box of sundries at an auction but this is not confirmed. I have contacted the Condobolin library and they sent me some information in relation to Ernest McCORMACK and his wife. They were married just prior to his embarkation for France. Her maiden name was either Florence Glisson or Hucker and she operated the Court House Hotel in Condobolin. His parents were William and Bridget McCormack possibly from/buried in Brookside Victoria. There also must be a headstone in Rookwood cemetery Section 6 row 14. I have come to a stand still on finding any relatives that it should be returned to. Your assistance would be greatly appreciated.
