Almost a WWI trio

This search started with an email from Donna from the Directorate of Honours and Awards. Recently, the 1914-15 Star and British War Medal awarded to 3195 DVR Henry 'Harry' George Lusher were handed in before being forwarded to me. 

Harry's service record is pretty interesting for a couple of reasons. Firstly, Harry applied for the Anzac Medallion in 1967, so where is that now? Secondly, under the stamp denoting the Victory Medal, is another stamp stating the medal was returned in 1923. 

I didn't find much about Harry following the information of his war service other than him on a few Ancestry family trees. I contacted one owner, Kym, who is Harry's great niece. I'll soon post Harry's medals to Kym and information about how to apply for the Victory Medal.

Thank you Donna, it is always a pleasure to help out the Directorate of Honours and Awards. The returned medal tally is now 2759
