I didn't know they sent them out as you described. My grandfather was entitled to 3 1914/15 star, gen madal and vic medal.

I git the Victory Medal recently. Strange it was returned - because it was sent out with Gen medal as you said.

Hi Jim

They were delivered according to medal card - one was returned for some reason. However, the sons and daughters never had them and nobody in family has ever seen them or heard about medals.

Maybe they were lost, sold or thrown away in grief.

Hello all

My grandfather's medal card lists 3 medals he was entitled too. However, one was returned undelivered. I obtained this from MOD.

Regarding the other two. No record of receipt in the family. Family members do not recall seeing or hearing about these two medals from relatives at the time or since.

Could they have been undelivered ?

Thanks to your post I also applied for my great uncle's medals. Only one was returned so they sent that which is great.

However, the medal card says the other two medals were not returned yet my grandfather and his sister said didn't have medals in their possession when they died. Wonder what happened to them if they were actually delivered - lost or even pawned / sold even!!
