Lt. Arthur John DUFFETT

[Rory Reynolds]

Hi all

I am trying to research a Lt. A.J. Duffett. He first saw service with the Dukes in German South West Africa before accepting a commission with the Lancashire Fusiliers.

According to his Medal Index Card he became eligible for a Silver Wound Badge on 6. 5.1918.

I have 2 questions which I am hoping Forum members might be able to help me with. Firstly what action was Duffett's regiment engaged with on the day he was wounded? And, secondly, can someone with a knowledge of the TNA Doc search facility please tell me if his file is downloadable.

Thanks in anticipation.

Rory

Re Q1.

I have always thought that the date of eligibilty was the date discharged and not the date wounded so I await someone with a definitive answer on that one
