An ex-army man surprised his best mate and former comrade with a new war medal he had lost

This heartwarming video shows the moment an ex-army man surprised his best mate and former comrade - by giving him new war medals to replace the ones he lost.

Tristram Bentley, 42, spent months trying to subtly find out what tours his pal, Ed Williams, had been on during his five years in the army, from 1995 to 2000.

Ed, also 42, had sadly lost his army insignia, from his tour of Kosovo and two tours of Bosnia, after giving them to his dad, who passed away a few years ago.
