Is it possible for a relative to replace the lost medals of a soldier? Is it expensive.
In her grief at the death of her husband in the Home Guard in 1942 my grandmother threw all his medals away saying she wanted her husband and not medals! They went in the dustbin and probably exist in a landfill site in Wiltshire.
I have a picture of the ribbons so I know which medals would need to be replaced. I would put the ribbons on if I could remember how to do that!
