Can anyone help this veteran who lost his medals on the way to today’s ceremony at the International Bomber Command Memorial Centre at Canwick, Lincoln?

Some excellent news from the International Bomber Command Centre Facebook page:

“Great news!! Donald Nicholson who lost his medals on the way to last week, which launched a wide media campaign to help find the WW2 medal strip, has been reunited with them this afternoon. They were handed in at a police station. Donald has asked us to send huge thanks to everyone who has supported the search from volunteers with metal detectors, to those offering replacements or rewards through to everyone in the media. What a great end to the week!”

Apparently the medals has still not been found and a reward has now been offered to assist with their return http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-lincolnshire-34442555

I have not heard whether this has been resolved so I thought I’d bump it back to the front page!
