It was a heartwarming moment in the City of Moreton Bay in Queensland when a set of World War Two medals were finally reunited with their rightful owners. The discovery of these medals by the police sparked a public appeal for assistance, as they were found during a search of a property in Strathpine while investigating another matter.
The medals had a special significance, as they were posthumously awarded to Australian soldier Clarence James Jones, who tragically passed away as a prisoner of war in south-east Asia. The police were overwhelmed with reports from the public after their plea for help, and with their diligent efforts, they were able to track down the rightful owner - Jones' grandson, Robert MacCallum.
It was a bittersweet moment for MacCallum and his cousin Kathleen, as they had thought the medals were lost forever. They were passed down as a cherished family heirloom and held great sentimental value to the family. The grateful pair expressed their thanks to the police for their dedication in finding and returning the precious medals.
Unfortunately, the story took a turn when a 22-year-old man from Kippa Ring was charged with possessing suspected stolen property. He will be re-appearing in court on January 13th to face the consequences of his actions. This serves as a reminder of the importance of respecting and honoring the belongings of others.
