The service medals of an Australian veteran who served in the Afghanistan campaign have tragically gone missing.  And it is hoped that some kind soul has found these medals and is searching for their rightful owner.

Australian Engineer Anthony P. CLARKE, service number 8526842 was awarded the Australian Active Service Medal with ICAT clasp, Afghanistan Medal and the Australian Defence Medal during 2010.  The ICAT clasp relates to the International Coalition Against Terrorism.  Having served his country, Anthony CLARKE returned to Australia and unfortunately the medals appear to have become missing a short time later.  My family has no idea as to where these medals may have been misplaced and we fear that they have been lost whilst moving house.  Any assistance in helping me to recover these missing medals which are of deep sentimental value would be greatly appreciated.

CLARKE who served in the Australian Defence Force during the conflict in Afghanistan.  The medals are from left to right:- Australian Active Service Medal with ICAT clasp.  Afghanistan Medal and the Australian Defence Medal.  Lost whilst moving house, these medals are of strong sentimental value.

Anthony CLARKE is one of many young Australians who as a result of service in Afghanistan, have joined the ranks of men and women to have served their country during a time of war.  The least that we can do as a nation to show our gratitude for his service is to help recover these missing war medals.

If anybody has found these medals, could they please be kind enough to contact the Medals Gone Missing Administrator on phone 0449 692401 or hand them in to the nearest R.S.L, Australian Defence Force base or Police Station.
