David B Posted 16 August , 2010 Share Posted 16 August , 2010 Graham, TYhe only thing I could find on Ancestry was his MIC which shows him entitled to the 14-15 star BWM and VM. Date of entry onto France 13-1-15. There doesn't appear to be any service record or pension record. David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
alf mcm Posted 17 August , 2010 Share Posted 17 August , 2010 Graham, His MID appears in the London Gazette of 10th July 1919 {page 8763}. It only gives his name rank and number, and the list of names in this Gazette is a continuation of Sir Douglas Haig's list of 16th March 1919. The best way to find out about his MID is to consult local newspapers of the time, where he may be mentioned. Regards, Alf McM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
