The Army Medal Office

The office at "Droitwich Spa" has now moved to the new address below.
It holds details of most campaign medals issued from the 1920s and is the authority for questions concerning entitlement to current campaign medals. The Office provides two main services:

  1. Issue of medals to those entitled persons who have never received them.
  2. Replacement of medals under certain conditions for entitled personnel.

For both circumstances, an initial letter should be sent to the Medal Office explaining the precise request and the circumstances behind it. As much of the following information as possible concerning the original recipient or entitled person should be included and where possible backed up with photocopies only of supporting documentation (entitlement to medals is only determined from original records held by the Army)

Replacement of medals are only offered to recipient or immediate next of kin, and then only when clear and documented proof of loss is provided. Enquiries to:
