You can apply to a Govt Dept to get medals that are lost replaced, we got my Dad's that way. If you are interested I will look out  the details for you. I'm sure this would be cheaper than buying on the open market.

You will need his army number and d.o.b. etc.

While we are one the subject and not wishing to invade another members question how much would a ww1 Military Medal be worth (not selling) just asking

Would depend to a degree on the same criteria of condition, rank, regiment, casualty or not.
But lets say a common regiment, and not a casualty, a ballpark value is £300-400
Name interests: Boulton, Murrell, Lock, Croxton, Skinner, Blewett, Tonkin, Trathen.

Thanks Neil
I had no idea it would be worth so much.
He was a Driver in the R H A so he was a private.
My dad was awarded a medal in WW2 along with all his comrades but then had to return them because permision had not been given for them to receive it, any idea how I can find out what the medal was?

Have you got his service record from the MoD?

Hi Glen
No I haven't !
What are the odds on them finding his records? as I said I have looked at Kew without luck.
The form looks a bit complicated on first glance but I will go back and have another look.
Thanks, Borri.

Many thanks for this reference. My father has never applied for his WW2 medals and has said he would like to apply for them. The link you gave even has a printable form to complete so we will know which information is required.

Sorry Glen
I am on a couple of different areas of this site at the same time and I now realise that it was on a different area I mentioned Kew and that was for WW1.
I assume you are talking about my Dad in WW2.
I did have one of these forms about 15 years ago and a search cost then was £25 on first glance I didn't notice a charge.
