Missing war medal reunited with family

Caryn Wilkinson Reporter from Community News

The missing medal of a late war veteran has been returned to his family.

An 11-year-old girl found the war medal on the footpath in Titirangi and handed the treasure to police.

Massey Community Constable Mike Nolan began searching for the owner of the medal bearing the name E W Simon.

No burglaries had been reported so he turned to Medals Reunited NZ for help.

Enter Ian D. Maryn, a retired NZ Army Major.

Maryn discovered the medal belonged to war veteran Edward Simon, who had died in 1993.

More enquiries found Simon's stepson Malcolm, a Johnsonville resident, and the medal was returned to the delighted family.

🪱🐦 When are you the most productive? 🌙🦉

The Team from Neighbourly.co.nz

The Post has been diving into our daily habits, and research suggests being an early bird or a night owl isn’t just a choice—it’s biology! We all have that specific time when our brains finally "click" into gear.

This raises a big question for the modern workplace. To get the best out of everyone, should employers accommodate our natural body clocks? This idea is at the heart of the four-day work week and flexible scheduling movements.

We want to hear from you:
1. When does your brain "click" into gear?
2. Would a flexible (or shortened) schedule change the way you work?
