A military mission of a different kind, to reunite a World War one medal with its whanau. The British War medal was found dropped on the ground in a carpark at Ohope beach in Whakatane just after Anzac Day in April. Whakatane man Sandy Milne picked it up and has been looking for its owner since. He's tried the RSA , the local community and police - but its all been a dead end. Sandy Milne spoke to Lisa Owen.
