I read this thread with interest, 3 weeks ago I was looking at a WW1 trio belonging to someone with an unusual name. So I went on to Ancestry and looked under Public Trees and sure enough this soldier was there. To cut a long story short I contacted the tree owner and let him know this trio was for sale and, that shoud he be interested to contact me for details. He did contact me and I told him the info and that if he was interested in Purchasing them I wouldn't bid against him. He has been in touch to say he now has the medals and he is delighted they are back with the family. So don't give up anyone looking for family medals  if they are out there they may one day find there way back !!

I would love to be reunited with 'The Dead Man's Penny' that went missing from my mother's house.  I do have a constant search on ebay but if anyone sees one awarded to Frederick Tagg for sale I would like to know!
