Medals Wanted

I have decided to discontinue my medal finder service, as I have not been able to keep it up regularly, and there are a number of better and more comprehensive registers of this sort available on the Internet. One of the best, which is regularly visited by collectors who frequent the British Medal Forum, is maintained by Dave Mildon at the following link:

The listing below is now composed specifically of items that I am searching for to complete reunites in my own collection. Foremost amongst these are two of my great-grandfather's medals, which are out there somewhere, lost to our family. My great-grandfather's name was Henry Charles Drummond Godefroy, and he served in the Boer War with the Volunteer Company of the 1st Bn Essex Regiment, with service #6963, receiving the QSA with clasps Cape Colony, Orange Free State, Transvaal and South Africa 1901, and with the Royal Field Artillery with service #39778 as a Bombardier during the First World War, earning the British War Medal and Victory Medal for service in France. He died in December 1919 from the effects of being gassed during the war. My uncle recently located Henry Godefroy's British War Medal, which was in the possession of one of our cousins - it is named 39778 CPL. H. C. D. GODEFROY R.A. His Victory Medal, similarly named, is still missing.


Henry Charles Drummond Godefroy, Royal Field Artillery



If anyone can help me to track his Victory Medal or Queen's South Africa Medal down, I will certainly be grateful.


I am looking for the following medals for my own collection, to complete broken groups, and will be happy to purchase them outright or to trade against any item listed on the Vimy website:
