I have 10739 pte W.H. Wilcock l.n.lan.r and 37508 Pte T. Entwistle ramd ww1 service medals. I would love to return these to family. My grandfather was 23634 pte W smethurst l.n.lan who probably served together.
My great grandmother was Lydia Entwistle born in 1868. Her daughter, Clara, married Walter Marsh. I just found his medal”The Great War for Civilisation” 1914-1919. PTE. W. Marsh. L.N.LAN.R. along with his number were on the edge. My grandmother could have had a cousin named T. Entwistle. She was from Bolton, Lancaster.

I am trying to trace my grandfathers medals. Belgian Croix de Gurre , BWM and Victory Medal. From what I have been told they went missing when my nephew took them to school for a WW1 Project back inthe1980’s.
I am not sure what rank will be on them, the London Gazette entry for the Croix de Gurre in April 1918 gives his rank as
Sjt, the certificate for the medal signed by the King of the Belgians,issued in 1919 as his Rank as Staff Sergeant. He had metal crowns with his medals and he was always referred to as the Serjeant-Major by his former comrades but the Crowns could have been for a rank of C/Sjt (CQMS), his rank in 1919, or he may have been acting CSM or even RSM during the last months of the war.
Hi William,
I checked his medal index card which shows the naming on the BWM and Victory will be 242552 SJT. H. M. WILD. L.N.LAN.R. I’ll add it to the list above.
Thanks,
Paul

I am trying to trace my Grandfathers medals.

British War Medal
Victory Medal
My nan was visited by a chap going door to door offering to buy any old nik naks in the early 80’s, He left with the medals and my granddads pocket watch. My nan was happy with the fiver she got, my dad was not so pleased as they’d been promised to him. I have managed to purchase Copies from Worcestershire Medal Service for my dad but it would be nice for him to be reunited with the genuine articles.
Hi,
I realise this is a long shot so I don’t have high expectations, but I do thank you for the opportunity of trying.
I and my brother, sisters and cousins would love to trace my Grandad’s medals from WW1. His name was Pte. Stephen William Mapp, 36819. He was in the Loyal North Lancashire Regiment, I don’t know which battalion as we cannot locate any war records for him except the Medal index card. According to the index card he got the British Medal and the Victory medal. He was wounded at The Somme but went back afterwards. Then there is a little mystery. My Uncle clearly remembered he was shown 3 medals and that when Grandad finished the war he was a Lance Corporal, which doesn’t match up to the index card. We recently found a Royal Artillery cap badge in my late mother’s/ grandmother’s button box which we don’t know whose it was. I cannot find a trace of him so far in the Royal Artillery but maybe that is yet to come. Is it possible the 3rd medal, and what it was we would dearly love to know, was given and listed separately to the other 2 if he had changed regiment when he went back over?? I don’t know enough to know.
Anyway, after my Granny’s death in 1962 my Grandad married again. This woman sold his medals after he died and did not even offer them to his children, along with many other things so we have very little of his. This is particularly sad because a couple of weeks before my Mum died this year she said she wanted to see his medals and we couldn’t show them to her. This has made us even more keen to locate and hopefully reacquire them.
If anyone can help that would be lovely, or point me in the right direction.
They were sold sometime between 1968 and about 1990, probably the earlier part of that time. In the Blackpool area. so may have changed hands a few times.
Thank you so much, Alison Booth.
Would the 3 rd medal actually be the silver war badge? Which you got for being wounded? I’m a complete beginner but I’m tracing my family here too
I have 202218 pte t woodburn e LAN r medal and my grandparents would love to see it given back to the soldiers family if possible. My grandad found it about 30 years ago.
I have a British War Medal (1914-1918), inscribed 265930 SJT A DAWSON L-N-LAN-R. I would very much like to find the closest family member, and return the medal.
Regards, David.
Searching to re unite with the MM. The BWM & VM to Pte 4134 H Woodcock 2-5th LNL Regt. also SWB NO B218178.
Good morning,
I have a query regarding to a medal which is now in my family’s possession but I would like to see this medal get into the right hands.
Approximately 2 years ago, a gentleman came into the Keighley newspaper office and shoved a medal into a journalist’s hand and said “ I’ve been punched by an Asian and I don’t want this anymore”. The journalist knew my brother, also a journalist for the local paper, had military connections (ie Me) and so gave the medal to him. The irony is that I am Asian and want to almost undo the hurt that was done by making sure this medal gets into the hands of this gentleman once more or to his children / extended family as a goodwill gesture
The details on the back of the medal are as follows:
