Looking to replace lost medals?
British authorities will not reissue lost medals, we often get enquiries where to purchase copies and other memorabilia, the best starting place is Ebay.co.uk
The Wartime Memories Project is supporting the campaign to save the ITV Shows Heartbeat and The Royal from being axed, if they are lost it will impact many many jobs in North Yorkshire.

Phillip Eric Page Middlesex Regiment
I'm trying to gather information about my Grandad and his time in World War II. His name was Phillip Eric Page and served in the Middlesex Regiment, He was captured in June 1940, but am unsure when he arrived at Stalag XXA. We are currently going through old papers and photos that we have, and hopefully in the near future I will be posting what we find.
If anyone has any information on the Middlesex Regiment we would love to hear from you as we are trying to find as much information as possible. Thanks for taking the time to read this
Sgt Harry Botchin Middlesex Reg
Hello just a 2 1/2" with the bronze disc that I found amongst my late fathers items along with his Army no. tag and medals service records etc.I am wondering what it is, perhaps you could throw some light on it. Stamped with BS31 then under, WARSPITE ,under 130805,and at bottom MC. is it perhaps from a kitbag? a navy friend a relative? Perhaps nothing. Dad had a huge amount of war stories to tell and only left after being wounded and discharged in 1945.He did leave some rather poor quality mini-"dictotape" type recordings which (when I can bear to listen to them) may have some war stories on and be be worth sending on, sadly I have only 2 regimental type photos from that war period as I believe the rest were all taken away by other family members.
Pte. Leonard Oswald Harold Greenough
Iwould like to find out some more about my father Len Greenough. He spoke very little of the war and I am given to understand he had a particularly bad time in the fighting. It appears he landed on Gold beach D day plus one but aprt from that little was said.I believe at some time he was attached to a Canadian regiment due to the depletion of his own. Any information I might obtain would be gratefully received. I think he was in the Middlesex Regimentand was awarded the 1939-45 star,France and Germany star,Defence medal and war medal 1939/45. Sadly he died before he felt ale to talk of his experiences.
Pte. John Arthur Evans Princess Louise's Kensington Regiment, Middlesex R (d. 1945)
I am trying to find out any information about my great uncle John Evans he was in Stalag 20a in Thorn and I am told that he died in 1945 while being marched away from the camp, in a German town called Parchim.
My husband, Sidney Dixon was a Private in Middlesex Regiment. He served on D-Day landing on Gold Beach. He was on Mortars. Went through France, Germany etc. This picture taken whilst on leave in Brussels.
