Advanced Search
- Name: Entering SURNAME only should be sufficient to achieve a result. Initials only of first names, seperated by full stops may be entered. No spaces between the start of the Surname and the full stops: example: J.F.MCGRATH or C.H.TRAYNOR. Apostrophie must be entered e.g. O'REILLY
- Serial Number: Search by serial number. This is always the best way to find a particular person, but bear in mind that sometimes for various reasons, a serial number may have been changed.
- Country: Find all medals and militaria based on country
- Corps: Search by Corps or Service only: i.e. Artillery, Mounted (this includes Cavalry & Lighthorse) Merchant Navy, Air Force, Armoured etc.
- Unit Number: Enter the unit number ONLY - no other details. i.e. to find all items under the 10th Lighthorse Regiment - simply type in the number 10. If searching for a composite unit such as the 55/53rd Militia Battalion (Australian Military Forces) - simply type in 55/53. NOTE: a number only will yield results for ALL countries.

Country: Australia
I am searching for the First World War Medals (1914-1915 Star, British War Medal & Victory Medal) of my great grandfather, Albert George Ferdinand NEAVE. He served with the 10th Battalion and was wounded at Gallipoli. He won the Military Medal in France, very late in the war. These medals were passed down to a different side of the family and it has been a cause of a "rift" for some time. If you could please assist us in having the medals returned, we would appreciate it.
