Looking to find a Victory Medal

[Adrian Stevenson]

Hi Guys, a long shot I know, but a client of mine is desperate to locate a missing British Victory Medal that was his Grandfathers. It was split from the group by a family member in Ireland. Odds are it has a ribbon from the War Medal on it.

Named to Private John Kelly of the Royal Inniskilling Fusiliers and his serial number was 21350.

Thanks!


Cheers, Ade.

Have several, but none with the last name 'Kelly'.

Forums and the internet may be the best way to find and complete medal
groups that have been split up. I keep a list of names/regiments in my
wallet in case I see one of them pop up somewhere.........

Added to my notebook. You are right, it is a long shot but one that is worth a punt for sure. I expect you know that Medal Magazine had a "Medal Search" list that subscribers could add to. Don't know if it still exists though.

I don't know if it would be possible but is there a way of creating a database perhaps in the Gold Members area that members could consult and add to in such a search. I think in the first case it would probably only be of use in the case of UK/Commonwealth medals which are impressed with full No Rk Name and regt/unit but some other nations medals, notably USSR are serial numbered.

I know it would be a job to set up the database but population with data would be done by those using it.

Just a thought.

Regards

Try the brit medal forum....but be prepard to pay market price for it, though some would gift it back to the family.
