The UK Military Medal Register

Every medal tells a story worth preserving.

Military medals carry names, numbers and sacrifices that deserve to be remembered. Too often they become separated from their stories — sold at auction, lost in house clearances, or stolen from the families that cherish them.

Medal Register is the UK's dedicated online database, bringing together collectors, families, researchers and military charities in a single authoritative platform. Our searchable index spans conflict periods from the Boer War through both World Wars and beyond.

Whether you're trying to trace a family member's service, report a stolen collection or find a buyer for a medal you've inherited, this is the right place.

World War I

The Great War — records from 1914–1918 including campaign medals, gallantry awards, Death Plaques and Silver War Badges.
