Rigga - could you confirm that the few hundred pounds you mention is for officially named replacements from the MOD? In the past I know some people have expressed surprise that they have to pay for replacements for lost medals, but this is of course the case. Depending on which medals are involved the cost can be quite considerable. Buying replica medals from one of the various firms that supply these is of course a possibility as well. By the way doesn't your insurance cover loss other than by theft? Worth checking I'd have thought. Of course you'd have to convince them you haven't just flogged them and want another set free!
