Father’s war medals stolen from locked car.
On Father’s Day morning, Barbara Cave awoke to find some of the most precious memories of her dad had been stolen.
Geoffrey Charles Cave, who went by George, was a flight lieutenant in the Royal Air Force and a navigator in Spitfire fighters and bombers, joining in 1939 as the war broke out and surviving the six years of carnage that followed in Europe and North Africa. Barbara Cave, 54, followed in her dad’s footsteps and became a teacher later in life. She said she had taken the medals to show her students in the Cowichan Valley School District and left them under piles of clothes in her car.Oddly, the thief left one behind, Cave’s War Medal, as well as the ribbons that attach to each for his uniform.
She’s contacted Victoria police and the department has opened a file. Cave thinks the theft is like “a slap in the face” for all veterans. She’s calling pawn shops and military collector stores in her search for the medals.
