MOD can reissue returned WW1 medals

[Tarnwater]

The medals have been issued to the family, after proving the medals were returned unclaimed. The medal office could not have been more helpful.

That's great news, I'm very happy for you.

Thanks for the update and it's good to hear of another successful application.  Well done.

Hi all, i also applied for my grandfathers returned medals and recieved an email a couple of weeks ago to say my application was successful but it may take several months before they are issued.

Would that be just for medals returned? My Grandfather's medals were stolen as part of a burglary during the 1930's so I believe, it would be good if I could have copies.

I understand this scheme only applies where the original medals were returned due to not being able to deliver them to the intended recipient (i.e. the soldier or next-of-kin).
