Guest Ian Bowbrick Posted 25 March , 2004 Share Posted 25 March , 2004 Pte Louis Forth (266 Non Combatant Corps) is a local lad (to me) and is recorded as having been killed in action in France on 6 November 1918. Would he have been entitled to any campaign medals and/or a memorial plaque & scroll? I have never come across any MICs to the NCC and always assumed that they had been HS men only!

charlesmessenger Posted 25 March , 2004 Share Posted 25 March , 2004 Ian Eight NCC companies served in France and would have presumably been entitled to medals and scrolls, etc. The only thing they did not receive was the pay rise given to everybody else at the end of 1917. Since the NCC served well behind the lines, I presume that your man must have died as a result of a tragic accident. Charles M Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmsk212 Posted 25 March , 2004 Share Posted 25 March , 2004 Ian He is on the SDGW CD as :- 226 Private Louis John Forth Non-Combatant Corps Died, France & Flanders, 06/11/1918 Born Bedford Enlisted Norwich Residence North Walsham. Note his slightly different service number and the fact that he is listed as "died" rather than "killed in action" Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
