The year of J. Riney's death 1966 his medals in custody of Queensland Public Trustee were turned over to R.S.S.I.L.I.A. and were presumably sold to some one. Medals that he received for his WWI services were among those sent to RSL. The medals that I found to be his for WWII service were: 1939-45 War Medal 1939-45 Star Atlantic Star WWI service (I'm not sure of) these may be likely the ones: 1914-18 Victory Medal Merchantile Marine War Merchantile Marine Pair I, his nephew Denis, traced my uncle to Brisbane and found his resting place in Nudgee Cemetery on Sep 22, 2008. I'm eager to have the listed medals of Uncle Jerry's in my possession and later to pass them to my two son. Thank you kindly for items such as these that you may have, of his belongings..
