ianmccallum Posted 1 November , 2009 Share Posted 1 November , 2009 Hi Guys Would it be possible to receive a Silver War badge only. I have Pte. William McStay, North Irish Horse being issued the badge but can't find any other medals for him. According to the medal card for the badge he enlisted on 22 March 1916.

ianmccallum Posted 3 November , 2009 Author Share Posted 3 November , 2009 Hi Guys Thanks for the replies. If he served overseas he must be entitles to a medal. Any ideas what might have happened to the MIC. Is the SWB Roll available on line. Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
centurion Posted 3 November , 2009 Share Posted 3 November , 2009 Hi Guys Thanks for the replies. If he served overseas he must be entitles to a medal. Not necessarily - only if he served in a theatre of war - if his overseas service had been in India for example he wouldn't be entitled. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
themonsstar Posted 3 November , 2009 Share Posted 3 November , 2009 If in did served in India he would get the British War Medal. The SWB rolls are not online. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
