One of the saddest things in medal
collecting is when medal groups get split up. The reasons for this can be
endless, but more often or not it is due to them being left to different family
members during their lifetime, or being sold for the silver scrap value.
Most of our medals have been bought with a
hope of saving them from being scrapped and an even bigger hope that one day we
can reunite them with the rest of their group. It is so important that these
medals that were awarded to such brave people stay together for future
generations and to preserve as many memories as they can.
We will be sharing some of the stories of
reunited groups that we have with you over the coming months, but we would love
to hear your stories of medals you have reunited with each other, or even
better with the families they came from.
Please get in touch if you would like to
share your stories, or if you would like us to tweet any requests to our
followers for missing medals. Every bit helps and if we can help reunite just
one group we will be making a difference.
