Stolen Medals
As at August 2018 only SIX of the stolen medals have been recovered
 |
On the 25th October 2003, the Museum suffered a grievous loss when thieves broke in and stole over a thousand medals.
The medals represented service from the First Afghan War to the Korean War; their loss to the museum is devastating. Not only has the Regiment's lasting memorial to those individuals been stolen and lost to future generations, but their service, gallantry and devotion to duty has been violated.
As at August 2018 only SIX of the stolen medals have been recovered
