Thanx for this. As I can't find his MIC either, perhaps it's under a different christian name??

He may not have claimed his medals at all....

MC was promulgated in the London Gazette #29608, 3 June 1916. Link to Gazette is Here. It's a King's Birthday Honour so unlikely to have a citation in the Gazette.

2nd Lt. (temp. Lt.) (temp. Capt. R.E.) Harry Hannay, K.O. Sco. Bord., T.F.

Blimey, I looked in that Gazette as well!

Must have been late, eye strain?

It's another example of the joys of searching the Gazette . Enter "Harry Hannay" in the search terms and you get those other results you'd found but not the MC, enter "HarryHannay" without the space and voila!!
