Found these medals listed as a lot on a UK auction site. Was wondering if there is any chance that they can be traced to the awardees. Thanks,

UNITED STATES OF AMERICA, Campaign Medals (4), United States Army, Spanish War Service Medal, 1898-1899 (29125), with reverse pin for wear; United States Army, Cuban Pacification Medal, 1906-1909 (No. 5731), with reverse pin for wear; United States Marine Corps, Mexican Service Medal, 1911 – 1917 (1385), with reverse pin for wear; United States Army, Mexican Border Service Medal, 1916-1917 (4965), with reverse pin for wear. All toned, occasional tiny verdigris spots, otherwise good very fine to extremely fine, these numbered medals worthy of further research.

The Spanish War Service is outside the traceable range and the USMC Mexican is untraceable but a desireable medal.
