MPX5139101: A chance encounter on the Metro has re-united a former soldier with his cherished military medal. Ian Parker served in the British Army in the 1970s but sold his service medal in 1989, a decision he had regretted for over twenty years. But now he has the medal back and in pride of place in his home thanks to the detective work of his colleague. Former Solider Ian Parker (pictured left) lost his service medal. Colleague and medal collector Jon Whitehouse (pictured right) managed to find and return the lost medal after a chance conversation over their medal interests, July 2014 (photo) / Bridgeman Images
