Police are asking people to keep a look out for these precious items stolen during a house burglary in Chester .

The medal was presented for action in Palestine between 1945-48 in the aftermath of the Second World War.

And the engraving on the pocket watch reveals it was presented to a 'Stanley Pierce' in 1924 by his mother and father as a 21st birthday present.

A spokesperson said: "Please keep a look out for these items. Any information please get in touch quoting 18100231772."
