This request was forwarded to MGM to locate the family and return a pocket watch of World War 1 veteran, Service Number 3647 Private Harold Frederick BROWNE MM & Bar. The request came from Bob PERKINS from Murray Bridge RSL Sub-Branch. MGM had helped him previously to return to two medals found in burnt in a garden bed in a backyard. This watch had been found many years ago between a railway track and a road. Had the finder not have been on horse back he would not have made this discovery. The finder approached the Murray Bridge RSL Club where Bob is on the Committee of the Sub-Branch and he also looks after the aretfacts the club holds. Bob accepted the watch and commenced a military search and became stuck so he said he remembered the wonderful work MGM had done before and contacted us for help. As a result, the watch will be finally returned to the next of kin of Harold Frederick BROWNE.

We are attempting to make contact with any descendants of Private J. BROWN who served with the Fife & Forfar Yeomanry during the Great War. His service number was 2093.

My grandfather served in both world wars for the English Army and his details are as follows:- 7337394 Warrant Officer II Robert BUCHAN – Royal Army Medical Corps Awarded the following Medals; 1914 – 1915 Star, British War Medal, Victory Medal, Awarded Military Medal for Bravery in the Field (London Gazette 16.10.17), General Service Medal with Clasp for service in “Palestine”, 1939 – 1945 Star, Pacific Star, Defence Medal and the Long Service and Good Conduct Medal. He was killed in action (Hong Kong) on the 18th December, 1941 when the island fell to the Japanese. He enlisted twice, 1914 – 1919 and 1921 - 1941. I would dearly love to get them back as I remember seeing and thinking how impressive they were when I was kid. The only thing that I have left to remember them by is some photos and the original brooch bars that they were attached to, which were left to me. I heard that his medals were pawned back in the early eighties? And I did hear through the family grapevine that the medals may have ended up in a collectors auction in Adelaide. It is clear that if these medals are still mounted as a set and have not been seperated, that a collector has purchased these medals and could be hesitant to part with them. However I can assure you that the new generation within my family hold our grandfather's memory very dear and we would be extremely grateful if that collector would consider selling them back to us.
