WWII medals

[Arranroots]

My late father in law never applied for his medals from WWII (he served in the Army in East Africa, Burma).

I believe it is possible for his widow to apply, but don't know how to go about it.

Is it the same procedure as applying for a service record?

I would be grateful for any advice.

kiind regards, Arranroots

Hiya, think this is it:


Army Medal Office (AMO)
Block A Government Buildings,
Worcester Road, Droitwich, Worcestershire WR99 3AU

The AMO handles the issue and replacement of medals. For WW2 medals, which have never been claimed, it will be necessary to first obtain an official record of service from the Army Personnel Centre before applying. For replacement medals, proof of loss (i.e. police report or insurance claim) is essential and claimants may be required to pay the full cost of replacements.

Thanks Kev

Still not sure which office - the site gives a different one from your first post.

I can give the Innsworth office a ring and find out from them though - thanks for the help!

Noticed that also, probably best to ring.
