If they were my responsibility, I would get them remounted as a set-helps stop them being lost or damaged as individual medals-court mounting stops them banging into each other when worn for ANZAC or Armistice Days etc. See attached:

Nice medals! It looks as though you are missing his Australian Service Medal though.
Could you please post some pictures of the 3 medals I have put a cross on, I know what the rest are but i am at a loss as to what those 3 medals are.
Cheers Luke.

The other two stars that Lithgow has shown are the Africa star and the 1939 to 1945 star, there is only one Pacific star
Like AIF says you are missing the 39 to 45 star, an impressive group none the less

Re: My Gandfathers WW2 Pacific War MedalPost
Hi Paul It all depends how long he served overseas a lot of guys didn't qualify for the 39-45 star because they didn't do the required 6 months overseas service, you see a lot of pacific groups like this with guys who spent a couple of months in New Guinea then returning home as you only had to step foot in New Guinea for one day to get the Pacific star... He should have received the 1939-45 Australian service medal though.

Re: My Gandfathers WW2 Pacific War MedalPost
The one with the red and crimson ribbon is the "Naval Service Medal" 1915-1962.
Interesting when combined with the "Infantry Frontline Service Medal" which is an unofficial 2/12th Battalion award issued by the 2/12th Battalion Association.
I will keep looking for the other two.
Cheers
Dave
