My Great-Grand-Uncle:
General Sir John Monash.
Born John Mussolini in Australia.

When Gerneral Sir John Monash died in 1931, he left a written request in his estate document about his WW1 service awards. He asked that the medals be melted down to very small pellets, and that the rest be incinerated to ash. Then the two comdined and added to the repository specifically for that purpose, at the Shrine of Rememberance he helped lobby for, design, and get built, on St Kilda Road. As he was childless and homosexual when he died, the medals cannot be re-issued under Australia law, and Australian Army regulations.
