W.L.NORTHAM

Unit No: Rifle Brigade 8th Bn
Corps/Service:
Infantry
Country: United Kingdom
I found a listing for this medal at: https://www.worthpoint.com/worthopedia/rifle-brigade-killed-action-casualty-307229615. This listing indicates that the British War Medal awarded to Wilfred Lavis NORTHAM was sold via the eBay U.K. auction site (date unknown).
Wilfred Lavis NORTHAM was my grandmother's brother. I have been unable to find out who sold it or who bought it. I would love to see it returned to our family. If the person who purchased the missing British War Medal of Wilfred would kindly consider selling the medal to his descendants, we would very much appreciate it.

Service No: S/16252
Unit No: 6th Cameron Highlanders
Corps/Service:
Infantry
Country: United Kingdom
Hi Everyone.
I'm here on a bit of a mission. My Uncle lived in the London region until he died. Unfortunately once we cleared the house we have not been able to locate my Grandfather's WW1 medals. We think unfortunately they might have been sold for one reason or another.
My family is desperate to track these down and there is a reward for the location of them.
They were last seen in a frame. There were three of them. The Military Medal, The 1914 Star and The Victory Medal. The Military Medal will have my Grandfather's name on it.
These are incredibly important to us as he was the only one of his brothers to return from The Great War. He was part of the 6th Battalion of The Cameron Highlanders. His name was John MacInnes.
If you have them or know of any leads I could try please DM me. As I said there is a reward and you will be compensated. I would like them to return to my father before he passes as he is very ill.
Thank you for your time. Please share as much as you can. Any lead is helpful. PLEASE SEE OUR BLOG IN THE MEDALS GONE MISSING ARTICLES OF INTEREST!
J.F.L.FERRAMOSCA
Medal Type:
Corps/Service:
Engineers
Country: South Africa
I am searching for the missing war service medals of my father. His name was Joseph Frederick Lorenzo FERRAMOSCA. He had three medals which went missing during a move. The missing war service medals consist of the Italy Star, the 1939-1945 War Medal and the 1939-1945 South Africa Service Medal. All three medals should have his name impressed (on the rear for the Italy Star and on the rim for both of the round medals). Any assistance in helping me to recover these missing war medals would be greatly appreciated.
