Do you have any kind of tribute to your ancestors in your home?

These are WWI medals awarded posthumously to my three great uncles. The sets were awarded to Jack Calvert, 1/5 Bn Northumberland Fusiliers (killed 2nd Ypres) Tom Calvert, Hawke Bn RN Division (killed Gallipoli) Harry Calvert, 19th Field Ambulance RAMC (killed Somme)

They are the 1914-15 Star, The British War Medal and the Allied Victory Medal. The 1914-15 Star is the most interesting, as they were only awarded to members of the forces who served overseas before the end of 1915. Harry Calverts set is incomplete. Not only is the Victory Medal missing, but so is the Distinguished Conduct Medal that he was awarded.
