My family is searching for the Waterloo Service Medal awarded to James SPARKES who served in the British Army during this action. My grandmother was in possessioin of the medal of which James was her grandfather. Unfortunately she sold it to a collector in Sydney in the 1980’s. As with most Waterloo medals, the name of the recipient is engraved on the edge, so we believe that our great, great grandfather's medal could be inscribed James Sparkes. HOWEVER PLEASE NOTE: I have a memory that the medal may in fact be inscribed 'Footman Sparkes'. It would be wonderful if whoever has this medal would consider selling it back to our family and we sincerely hope to hear back from the collector who has the medal in their safekeeping.

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.

I would like to confirm I would like to go ahead with the labour intensive search for the missing Mercantile Marine War Medal of my paternal grandfather Mahomed Gama. The naming is impresed on the medal as MAHD. GAMA. The medal was sold at www.emdals.com in Ontario, Canada for $50 USD, the item number is GB5300. A image of the medal was on their website online, but they have since removed it and will not help me. I have been informed the medal was sold in 2016 and the winning bidder/buyer is in India, however, I do not have any knowledge as to whether this information is correct. This is the only information I have to date. Any help would be very much appreciated and if the current owner would agree to sell the medal back to my family, we would be very grateful.
