London Gazette

[Hett65]

I have been trying all ways to find the following men in the London Gazettes without success, can anyone assist me with this task.

1. Only details I have on first man is C. Wilmer who was awarded the MC, I do not know what regiment or rank at the time of the award.

2. George A Carr of the KRRC attached to Infantry Brigade (this was in a newspaper report of 12.6.1919), which also said he was MID (Date not known), in Feb 1917 obtained a commission with KRRC, and in August 1918 promoted Lieutenant.

Thanks

John

The only Wilmer, M.C. I can see is :

MC in LG 4-6-1917

Capt. Graham Horace Wilmer, Essex R.

King's Birthday honours, so no Citation.

Could the "C" be a "G" ?

He was a Staff Captain and Brigade Major later in the War.

Medal Card on Ancestry has "Emblems" on it which suggests a MID but can't see anything on NA to suggest there's a MID Card though.

Steve and Steve

Thanks for the information. Wilmer could have been G rather than C as difficult to read in an old newspaper. Carr is also the right man and thanks for the extra information from his MIC.
