Yeah it would be super cool, especially if they knew it had been lost and had given up looking for it. :)

Would be worth a newspaper article. :)

Looks like his father was buried in Pleasant Point cemetery just after WW1

http://www.timaru.govt.n...vices/cemetery/plot/3853

And the medal recipient may have been buried in Timaru in 1951...

http://www.timaru.govt.n...ices/cemetery/plot/16696

But that's not confirmed.

I wonder how his medal ended up lost in a CHCH park?

Looks like this would be a good page to post our medal and RSA badge finds - good PR "found by metal detectorist while coin hunting in a local park..."
