Medals Lost for Decades Found in Boronia
Boronia Police recently recovered six war medals dating back to World War II. The original owner had since passed away, leaving the medals without a known next of kin.
Family Reunited with Precious War Memorabilia
After a careful investigation, police located the veteran’s son living in Patterson Lakes. Acting Senior Sergeant Paul Phillips personally delivered the medals earlier this week, receiving heartfelt thanks from the family.
A Touching Moment of Remembrance
The son expressed deep gratitude, sharing that the family had not seen the medals in over 20 years. The return marks a meaningful restoration of history and honour to its rightful custodians.
Well Done, Victoria Police
Victoria Police are often subject to harsh scrutiny and rarely receive the recognition they deserve for their community work. Acts like this—driven by respect, persistence, and compassion—show the human side of policing. Well done to Boronia Police for going above and beyond to ensure these cherished medals were returned to their rightful home.
