British World War One Medals

[David Dunlop]

I have been doing some family research and discovered a Great Uncle who served with the 228th Field Company, Royal Engineers (Barnsley), part of the 41st Division during the First World War. His Service Records show him being awarded the British War Medal and the Victory Medal at war's end.

These medals have long since disappeared from the family and I am wondering if replacements can be obtained from somewhere in England these days, or would I have to resort to tracking them down in a local military collector's shop?

I am assuming as these were service awards they would not be individually named to the recipient.
