brett361975 Posted 6 July , 2008 Share Posted 6 July , 2008 2 MIC's to Officers in the same regiment. one has no medal entitlement on it? why is this please ? all so it gives the rank of LTon the MIC but when i put in the name on the NA search box his entry comes up as a Second Lt? is this a common error?

welshdoc Posted 6 July , 2008 Share Posted 6 July , 2008 Presuming its the same man Medal card of Berry, James Corps Regiment No Rank Duke of Cornwalls Light Infantry 28741 Private 1st Northamptonshire Regiment Second Lieutenant Royal Berkshire Regiment Second Lieutenan it would be this MIc with the medal information. the one shown in the post appears to be simply a medal enquirey from the CWGC, he is not however included in the online CWGC register. So it may be he was being considered for inclusion who knows? As for the rank he may have been promoted after returning home and thus was not a Lieutenant in a war theatre hence no mention on the MIC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brett361975 Posted 6 July , 2008 Author Share Posted 6 July , 2008 Thats what i thought, i have a post running lower down called LT Berry but its got very confusing. I think these are one and the same man, can you give your opinions please thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveE Posted 6 July , 2008 Share Posted 6 July , 2008 IMHO these are not the same man, it's already been proved on your other threads that James Berry resigned his commission as a Second Lieutenant in 1919 due to ill health, a subsequent promotion wouldn't have thus occured. Quite where this enquiry fits in I don't know though. Regards Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
welshdoc Posted 6 July , 2008 Share Posted 6 July , 2008 As there are no other MICs for Liut or 2nd Lt J Berry in the Berks. Either it is simply an error on the MIC or a second possibility wass that there was indeed another lieut. J Berry in the Berks who did not serve in theatre , so no MIC or medal entitlement, and who died and was under investigation for commemoration hence the second MIC. But presumably did not fit the CWC criteria so no mention in the CWCG lists. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

per ardua per mare per terram Posted 6 July , 2008 Share Posted 6 July , 2008 You could also look in the Army List to see how many Lt J Berrys served with the Berkshires. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
