Remembered Today:

Differences in Medal Card quality

Recommended Posts

I have ordered medal cards from the National archives for 2197 Pte Duncan McDonald 7th Argyll & Sutherland Highlanders and 5757 Pte Thomas McGuire Connaught Rangers and they are quite poor, 6 cards per page, black and white, yet I was sent a copy of my Grandfathers by John McCann which was single, in colour and showed the back of the card.

Is the former from another source? I'd prefer to have a clearer copy if someone could help?

The NA cards are black & white, poor quality copies, 6 to a page.

The colour, double sided ones are from the Ancestry website.

Hi, You can get much better copies from Ancestry.com which also has the reverse of the cards which sometimes give an address. Many local libraries and record offices have subscriptions to the site and you should be able to look at then free of charge. Printing in my local library is 10p. Regards Sue S
