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.

Is this the real Private Harold BROWN who first enlisted into the 22nd Infantry Battalion of the AIF, then transferred to the 57th Infantry Battalion? Medals Gone Missing is searching for the direct descendants of Harold BROWN from Melbourne Victoria. Harold was an orchard worker and his father's name was Theo BROWN. Of interest, there are two photographs on the website of the Australian War Memorial; ONLY ONE of which could in fact be Harold BROWN. It appears that records generated by the original photographers, Darge Photographic Company do not clearly indicate which of the two diggers is actually Harold. Subsequently, MGM would like to make contact with the direct descendants of Harold BROWN so that this minor mystery can be solved.
