Yes, Australian, Canadian, and South African medals are quite different (and much easier) to research. UK medals have some things online and much more in the archives. They (like many archives) assume a collector/researcher who does the work themselves, although being mostly geared for the family history person. I assume there are still professional researchers to do things for you, but I haven't used one in decades.
