D.COGHILL
Medal Type: WW1 - 1914-1915 Star Medal Trio
Service No: 277369
Corps/Service:
Navy
Country: United Kingdom
We are searching for the missing war service medals awarded to David COGHILL who served with the Royal Navy pre- First World War. Medals issued 1909 onwards till 1919, believed lost sometime during the 1960s. Types not known but British Royal Navy medals, 5 or 6 in number. As David served during the Great War, he no doubt received the 1914-1915 Star, British War Medal and Victory Medal. It is also likely that he received the Navy Long Service and Good Conduct Medal amongst others. Last ship served on HMS Inflexible. Left Navy in 1919. My family is searching for any medals at all which are impressed/engraved with the name D.COGHILL

Rank: Private
Roll title: 10 Infantry Battalion - 1 to 8 Reinforcements (December 1914 - September 1915)

Date of embarkation: 23 June 1915

Ship embarked on: HMAT Kanowna A61. This medal set was offered for sale on the open market but failed to sell. It is likely the medals then sold via a "Buy It Now" facility of eBay which prevented the Medals Gone Missing team from making an offer to purchase these medals. If the current owner would consider making contact with the Medals Gone Missing Administrator via this website, it has come to our attention that a family member of Charles Edgar PRYKE is searching for these medals and wishes to purchase them back for the family.

My name is Wayne Crighton. Walter Crighton is a great Uncle of mine. Walter is a brother to William Crighton who also fought in WW1. Walter has been mistakenly recorded as Walter Crichton in some WW1 documentation. Walter embarked for service on HMAT Katuna on 9th March 1916. Walter joined the 4th Australian Light Horse Regiment, 15th Reinforcements. In September 1916 Walter was transferred to the 7th Battalion. Walter fought in numerous battles on the Western Front and was wounded in action 17th April 1918 and took no further part in the war. Walter returned to Australia in January 1919. Walter's parents are John and Rebecca Crighton. They were farmers in the Numurkah/Waaia disctrict in Victoria, Australia. To my knowledge, upon returning to Australia from the war, Walter married Annie Elizabeth Neave in 1925 but had no children. Walter died at Caringbah in NSW in 1971. I would like these medals returned to myself/family if they are currently in the possession of someone unknown.
