Guest geoff501 Posted 19 August , 2008 Share Posted 19 August , 2008 Is there anywhere on Ancestry to search for soldiers who won awards, like the MM ? For those who did not survive, I had a search option for awards on my search engine for a while - but nobody used it so it was removed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andalucia Posted 19 August , 2008 Author Share Posted 19 August , 2008 I found my man in London Gazette. When i try to view the details my internet explorer blocks the download of the file? then when i allow the file and save it, it comes as an ASPX file, so i cant read it? Anyone else had this trouble? cheers Ant Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
