Missing war medal reunited with family
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.
