Stephenb Posted 6 January , 2006 Author Share Posted 6 January , 2006 Hi Steve I can't find any supporting evidence for the MC of Captain William A Swarbrick of the Lancashire Fusiliers who died on 6 September 1920. Could you have a look for me? John Garlington John, I found a mention for him in the Lancs Fusiliers History Vol I, but no indication of M.C. award. Also looked through the Lancs Fusiliers regimental annual for 1917. Found 2 refs to him in the London Gazette in 1918/19, no M.C. title.
