When Royal Australian Air Force Chaplain Haydn Lea spotted four World War II medals at an auction in Perth late last year, his interest was piqued.
"There were four original medals," he told Mark Gibson on ABC Radio Perth.

A fifth medal issued to the same person was also on sale separately.
Chaplain Lea decided to buy them, have them restored and track down the serviceman's family.
