A FORMER Barnsley soldier whose war medals went missing 13 years ago is battling to get them returned after they turned up in a museum.
Ian Bostock, 44, served in the Light Infantry for 24 years and received four medals for active service in Northern Ireland, Bosnia, the former Yugoslavia and Kosovo.
