Hi Joan

You can buy copies quite easily try ebay or google for replica WW1 medals

Or buy a copy of medal news (Token publishing) where you will find many
adverts for copy medals

Do you know he was actually entitled to all three medals, perhaps from his
medal card ?

You might also consider buying an original of another soldier who was
entitled, that way you can help look after it for him and know it will be
preserved in a caring way

Which ever way you go, do be sure what you are buying, make sure that if its
advertised as original it actually is original and not a replica

Best wishes Nivard Ovington, in Cornwall (UK)
