Seems the story has moved on, but in a somewhat, and appropriately, confused way:-
SAS veteran who lost medals at remembrance event with Prince Harry has been reunited with them | Lincolnshire Echo.
The miniatures have been recovered, though the full sized ones are still missing? Almost a rerun of the earlier thread of an RAF veteran at the BC memorial near Lincoln losing his medals, again found nearer his home rather than his destination. I have a feeling that there will be future threads of a similar nature as dementia hits otherwise mobile veterans.
