I'm sure this story will strike a cord with my RAInf friends.
Jason Lindgren was a rifleman with 2 RAR when his battalion deployed to East Timor in September 1999. He discharged in the early 2010s. What is significant about this family is that Jason's father also served in the Royal Australian Regiment, as has his four brothers. Sadly, Jason died in September 2023.
Somehow, Jason's INTEFET medal, along with some other personal items, became lost in the mail. The medal eventually found its way to me. It was a bit of a circuitous route to find Jason's brother who put me in touch with his father.
I spoke to Mr Lindgren this morning and it is going to be such a pleasure to post this medal back to Jason's family.
The returned medal tally is now 2934.
