SteveE Posted 31 March , 2009 Share Posted 31 March , 2009 There's no mention of his Military Medal,should this have been recorded on here? Not on that Medal Index Card, it's primary use was to record the 'campaign' medal entitlement, some of these cards are annotated with MM, DCM etc. after the name but these are the exception rather than the rule. There is a separate series of medal cards that record the gallantry awards, some are available on Ancestry but not the MM I believe. The MM card can be downloaded from the NA site for a couple of quid.... Description Medal card of Hingley, F A Corps Regiment No Rank Machine Gun Corps 52346 Serjeant Date 1914-1920 Catalogue reference WO 372/23 Link to it is Here The card will tell you what issue of the London Gazette the MM was promulgated in which happens to be issue #30897, dated 13th September 1918. Detail recorded is.... 52346 Sjt. F. A. Hingley, M.G. Corps (Gloucester). Link to the Gazette is Here Regards Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
