Some of the medals come as pairs, others as trios and some of the rarer groups also feature MM’s and WW2 Servuice medals as well.

 

When researching the backgrounds of some of these soldiers, it’s hard not to shed a few tears, as they represent the massive scale of bravery and also suffering and death visited upon an entire generation of Australian soldiers.

​

Many great deeds are represented here, along with some colourful soldiers with some amusing incidents that saw them clash with military justice and discipline. 

 

Ideally these WW1 Medals would reside with the families, or in museums, but the reality is that where there are no relatives to pass them on to, or museums to house them, they are far better off in the hands of private collectors who will perpetuate the memory and stories associated the medals of these soldiers.
