The relationships I have with the Australian Federal Police and all the State and Territory police forces have been long standing and continue to grow. This particular return follows a request from the NSW Police Force but due to the circumstances I wont be showing pictures of the names on the medals.
The medals happen to be held at a police station close to where I live and I collected them on Thursday. I had a low level of confidence of a quick return, however, that turned out to be completely wrong. By Friday I had the family tree resolved and the name of the veteran's daughter. By Saturday I had the daughter's married name and in turn the name's of her daughters. I came across a link to this family on Ancestry but the account had not been accessed for over 12 months. After sending a message to the account owner, I received a response within a couple of hours and will now be able to return this entire family connection in the near future.
The returned medal tally is now 2969.
