Reuniting Found Medals with Families
Established in 2014, Medals Reunited New Zealand© is a voluntary service of former career military men who are dedicated to returning FOUND, PRE-OWNED and anonymously DONATED medals to families or a near descendant. Our FREE service is self-funded and 100% not-for-profit. It is also FREE from any administrative, postal or insurance charges.
We will attempt to trace the family or near descendant of any NAMED medal entrusted to us while the search is undertaken.
If you are a family member or descendant, you are welcome to advertise your lost/missing or stolen medals on this website FREE of charge. Un-named medals are generally untraceable and so cannot be listed, unless accompanied by at least one medal known to be named.
Please note: unlike World War 1 medals, World War 2 campaign stars & war service medals issued to NZ and UK personnel were UN-NAMED.
MEDALS ~ FOUND Medals (and Ephemera) that MRNZ is holding. May be claimed by any proven descendant on proof of identity.
MEDALS ~ LOST Medals descendant families are looking for who have registered their contact details with MRNZ.
MEDAL SEARCHES … Tracing descendant kin to return the medals that we hold keeps MRNZ fully engaged. Regrettably we are unable to undertake requests to search for family medals, but here you will find helpful hints to assist you initiate your own search.
MEDAL PROTOCOL … The Do’s and Don’ts of when, where, what, why and how to wear medals in New Zealand.
