I am searching for the missing service medals of my Grandfather: James Byrne CROGHAN 1862-1950 Irish by birth. Enlisted in British army at Liverpool on 5/11/1883 in 20th Regiment of Hussars, army no. 2222. Served with Lord Kitchener's expeditionary force in re-conquest of the Sudan following death of General Gordon in Khartoum in 1882. Arrived Egypt mid-June 1885. Took part in the battle of Ginnis (90 miles south of Wadi Halfa) v. the Mahdi's force of radicalised Islamists. A British + Egyptian Frontier Field Force victory, but mainly of significance as the last battle fought by the Brits wearing scarlet serge uniforms. Highest rank: private. Re-enlisted 1890 for Boer War, but remained on garrison duty in UK as then too old for South Africa. Medals awarded 1885: Khedive's Star and Egypt Medal (no clasp). These missing medals have not been seen for many years and any help in locating the medals would be greatly appreciated. I appreciate that they may be in the hands of a medal collector, but we would be very grateful to learn if the medals have survived or were thrown out.

The descendants of Monaghan Raymond HAYES are in possession of his First World War Service medals which were posthumously awarded as a result of his service during the Great War. Sadly Monaghan was Killed in Action on 31 July 1915 at Gallipoli and is buried in Shrapnel Valley Cemetery. After many years of searching for Monaghan's missing Memorial Plaque (colloquially referred to as a 'Dead Man's Penny') the Memorial Plaque was located on display in the Cooma RSL collection. Whilst his descendants are very pleased that the Memorial Plaque is being very well cared for by RSL staff, it is hoped that these medals can one day be reunited with the commemorative plaque.

The First World War medal trio (1914-1915 Star, British War Medal and Victory Medal) of Petty Officer Class 1 James NEWBERRY are currently in Australia and a descendant has been located in Hampshire England. James NEWBERRY was born in Alverstoke, Hampshire England and served with the Royal Navy during the Great War. It is intended the descendants of James NEWBERRY will be reunited with his medals 100 years after he served his country, thanks to assistance from ANCESTRY Australia. Medals Gone Missing would like to acknowledge the kind Western Australian who has made this all possible. Please stay tuned for this wonderful success story.
