I am seeking the Memorial Plaque (also known as a Dead Man's Penny') of Private Richard HARRIS of the 2nd Infantry Battalion, AIF. It appears that this name "Richard Harris" is in fact an alias. His correct name is stated to be Joseph DOYLE; although why he would enlist under this name is not known. The First World War Embarkation Roll indicates that he left Sydney on the 18th of October, 1914 aboard HMAT Suffolk. This soldier landed at Gallipoli on the 25th of April, 1915 (first day lander) and sadly, he was posted as 'missing' by the 2nd of May. This posting was eventually and officially changed to "Killed In Action" after a court of inquiry. The Commonwealth War Graves records (CWGC) indicate that he has no known grave and his name is recorded on the Lone Pine Memorial at Gallipoli. Any assistance in helping me to recover this missing Death Plaque would be greatly appreciated.

My family is searching for the First World War Medals of 'Bugler Sergeant' Thomas Edward JONES of the Durham Light Infantry. Thomas served in the 2nd Battalion and the 16th Battalion of the Durham Light Infantry. Thomas Edward enlisted in the 2nd Battalion Durham Light Infantry on the 12th of February 1907.

I am searching for the First World War medals of Henry Robert SPURRITT of the 10th Infantry Battalion, AIF. The First World War Embarkation Roll actually records his name as being "Henry Robert SPURRITT" and this is supported by his War Service Records on the National Archives of Australia. It is evident that he originally wrote his name as "Robert" and then placed Henry in front of this name as a later addition. Henry Robert SPURRITT also had a brother and father who served during the First World War. Unknown where these medals have gone. I have the Dead Man's Penny (Memorial Plaque or Death Plaque) for Robert and would like to reunite this with his medals. He is also listed on Medals Gone Missing under the name of R.H. SPURRITT or Robert Henry Spurritt.
