Hi.
i just picked up a item on the News on windows 8 re a medal stolen from display in Leicester Cathedral. it had been displayed there since 1983. although it was stolen sometime between july and sept this year i wondered if those of you who watch for medals on E Bay could be aware of it.
it is a.
M.M. awarded Posthumously to a Lt Alfred Ernest Chambers of the 26Btn Royal Fusiliers in 1918.

I believe the medal stolen was actually the Military Cross. Now, the really sad thing about this is that the MC was issued un-named ... so unless it was privately engraved on the reverse - tracking this medal down will be virtually impossible.
A very sad sign of the times we live in.

Thanks Richard
Sorry about the Error. Below is the Crime report from the local Police.

the investigating Officer Reports that the details are on the Medal, so they may have been put on at a later time.
