Coldstreamer Posted 2 July , 2009 Share Posted 2 July , 2009 Researching an officer who was commissioned 1916 from RSM in the Coldstream and his papers show he is due this medal - is there a roll to confirm ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 2 July , 2009 Share Posted 2 July , 2009 I would take the Papers as proof of award,there may be a Regimental list,but no official roll IIRC;it appears that often those on duty were often marched up to a box of them & told "Take One Only" the only confirmation I have seen is on Service Papers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Raldal Posted 3 July , 2009 Share Posted 3 July , 2009 It may be that he was extra-regimentally employed and was recorded on another part of the roll Ralph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
