Where have all the medals gone
Have you got a family medal from the Great War, or perhaps found some WW1 medals in your shed? If so we want you to share your story with us.
In the lead-up to ANZAC day [INSERT YOUR PAPER] is running a competition to uncover the medals in our community and the stories behind them.

As part of a national competition we want you to tell us about the medals in your possession - from the stories about your relatives' service, through to your chance discovery of hidden treasure or your challenges as a collector.

Just write a short story and send it to us at [ADD EMAIL AND/OR PO BOX]. If you have a picture of you or your family with the medals we would like that also. It's all part of keeping our community links to the ANZAC Spirit alive and well.

We will publish selected entries and all entries will be eligible to win a fantastic Sands of Gallipoli limited edition commemorative set valued at $195.00.

The limited edition set is part of the 2010 Sands of Gallipoli range of collector's items. All items in the collection come with a small vial of sand collected from the landing beaches at Gallipoli.

The Sands of Gallipoli commemorative products are available from participating Australia Post outlets or online at Sandsofgallipoli.com.au

The first Sands of Gallipoli collection was released in 2004 and has since grown to become a national icon, helping people celebrate and remember the ANZAC spirit.

This year the annual Sands of Gallipoli commemorative campaign looks at the the Victoria Crosses earned on the Gallipoli battlefields. 10 ANZACs were awarded the Empire's highest decoration for valour during this difficult campaign.

With the passing of the Last ANZAC, Alec Campbell, in 2002 Australia's link to the ANZAC Spirit now depends of capturing the stories and memories that have been passed down through the ages.
