I am searching for my missing General Service Medal which was inscribed 24017685 Pte. R.H. HENDERSON. A & SH. Included on the medal ribbon were two bars (MALAY PENINSULA & BORNEO). I lost the medal some time between 1966 and 1968 whilst serving in the British Army and would be very appreciative if anybody has any knowledge of the whereabouts of my missing medal. I last saw the medal in the Plymouth area, however it could be anywhere now. Beind an ex-serviceman, it would mean alot to me to have my medal returned.
