This return was rather straight forward from my perspective. however, the result is that much more exciting.
I recently received a message from Evelyn who had a WWI British War Medal to return to the family. The BWM was awarded to 60662 Arthur Dwyer. I soon found Arthur on an Ancestry tree and sent off a message to the tree owner. The response I got was: 'OMG, it is my grandfather's medal. I am so excited'. That makes all the effort worth it.
I've now connected Evelyn and Arthur's granddaughter, Gaye. The medal will soon join the rest of the family medal in Gaye's possession.
The returned medal tally is now 2768.
