Re-uniting
Martin, a great story and hats off to the internet seller for his generosity, the silver war medal may yet turn up, although as Marc says many were sold for silver scrap.
Several years ago I bought a small 1951 Cambridgeshire Home Guard shooting medal to a Major Crowe in a junk shop in Cambridge on a Saturday afternoon. The next day I went to Bedford Arms Fair and bought an ashtray inscribed to a Major Crowe of the Cambridgeshire Home Guard for 1951 from a dealer from Wales, miracles do happen . . !
Best of luck Rob
