Makes you wonder what the RSL was playing at - they should be the last ones to get involved in such an affair War Memorial to return WWII medals - ABC News (Australian Broadcasting Corporation) Medals on loan copied then sold off - Rockhampton News, Weather, Sport & Local Classifieds | Rockhampton Morning Bulletin - 2008-10-20 08:00:00.0 - localnews
This is the story about their sale http://ww2chat.com/forums/war-air/3439-war-memorial-purchases-special-medal.html
Why on earth would you want to exchange a DFC for a collection of weapons? A shame the medals won't be on public display anymore but hopefully they will be again in the future.
