Hi

How do you know if your ancestors medals were returned? All my grandparents are gone so nobody to ask.

His medal index card would show if any medals were returned.

This link from Imperial War Museums website explains where the medal cards can be found.

I have decided to try and obtain my wife's great grandfather's WW1 medals after reading these and other posts elsewhere,but I'm unsure as to how I figure out who his surviving n.o.k would be,any hints?....

Your wife can apply seeing as she is a great granddaughter of the soldier.

Thank you doch, so any of his g.grandchildren qualify?

As far as I'm aware any blood relation can apply as nok.
I personally applied for my grandfathers returned medals even though I wasn't the oldest grandson.
