| Lost Medals Australia Since 2000 I have been acquiring, researching and then returning lost medals to veterans or their families. I started out purchasing medals however; I'm now donated so many I no longer purchase medals. I can now use all my resources for research and trying to locate families. I do this free of any charge or fee. If you are searching for lost medals I hope they are in the current list I'm researching. If any of the names are familiar to you and you have information that will help me locate the veteran I would appreciate your assistance. I hope you enjoy this site. - LtCol Glyn Llanwarne |
