The lady has already said she has been to the Record office at Preston.

I tried the present local authorities, museums, local studies departments, county record office, The National Archives, National Army Museum, Guards Museum, Coldstream Guards Regimental HQ (all in London), medal collecting magazines, medal tracker in print and online.

The Medals are now in the care of the Guards Museum.
I have already been in contact with the lady and when these dammed holidays are out of the way
I will be going to Fulwood and rooting thro the archives there.
My first thoughts were the same as Garinda, who aarf inched the medals when Church offices were shut back in 73.
What we need to know is what happened to the soldiers diary.
Military Medals and Badges should be in Military Museums, like at Fulwood, not some arf arsed museums like County, Blackburn or Townley, where an items existence depends on the whim of the curator, or some tin pot council.

Retlaw.
