steelbonnet Posted 30 June , 2009 Share Posted 30 June , 2009 I am researching Capt. later L/Col. Joseph Patrick McGREEHIN MC R.A.M.C. a medical Doctor from Glasgow. Even with this unusual name the Gazette only comes up with all his promotions etc., the later ones in the1930,s have MC as a post nominal. There is also no mention of his two MiDs the certificates are dated 7/11/ and 8/11/1817. Can anyone help with searching the Gazette or help find Citation elsewhere?

SteveE Posted 30 June , 2009 Share Posted 30 June , 2009 MC Citation, London Gazette #31119, 11th January 1919. Link to it is Here T./Capt. Joseph Patrick McGreehin, M.B., R.A.M.C., attd. 4th Bn., R. Fus. While proceeding to assembly positions he was knocked over by a large piece of shell and badly shaken. Nevertheless he pushed on and established his O.P. behind a bank. Unfortunately, unknown to him, it was in the vicinity of a water point, and was very accurately shelled all day and finally hit. In spite of this, he worked on with the greatest courage, dressing with care all the wounded, and in one case amputating a foot.

Dan Owens Hi, The OP hasn’t been on the forum since Jan 2018 so I’ve sent him a private message to alert him to your post. If he hasn’t changed the email he registered with when he joined the forum he ought to receive the message. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
