Dave,
Unfortunately, you are correct. We have all met them. They collect and hoard because they can, and these things never see the light of day again. However, they only represent a small percentage.
Recently we acquired a stunning and complete RCAF Women's Division uniform, WWII. Medals with it. It will be on display for anyone to view. We have her name, place of service, even her service number. Found in the inside pocket of the tunic. We would very much like to put a face and a story to her service. (The request for info is posted here in the Your Relatives forum).
Seeking any information on her from DND, Directorate of History and Heritage and National Archives Canada is like running into a brick wall. Apparently she never existed.
All we want to do is return the medals to the family.
