Understanding MIC

[robertsim]

I would very much appreciate some interpretation of my Great Grandfathers MIC, I've figured he died on 13 November and it was as a result of a self inflicted wound, but what do all the numbers and the 13.3.22 date refer to?

Thanks in advance.

Hi Rob,

Take a look on the Long Long Trail site: http://www.1914-1918.net/grandad/mic.htm

Doug,

Cheers for that, so as I read it he embarked to Egypt on 1.3.16 as a Lieutenant with the RASC, earned the British War Medal and Victory Medal that were issued on 8.11.22 and is entered on the Ofiicers Roll p281D.

Brilliant! The only real mystery then is the 13.3.22 date in the bottom left hand corner, any suggestions?

Thanks again Doug.

Hi Rob,

Sorry any suggestion would be merely a guess on my part.

Could the date be when the application for his medals was received?
