Police are appealing for help to identify the owner of several military medals and badges found in a grassland reserve in Canberra’s north.

A member of the public dropped the find into the Belconnen Police Station on Tuesday after discovering a small carry case containing old military badges and medals.

The case had been found in the grassland reserve next to the Barton Highway in Giralang.
