This gent has made it onto my lists due to his marriage in the Parish church. His MIC details (MM) but I cannot find any other details including LG entry? any helpers

PRISMALL, William George.

MIC details / Medal entitlement.

3266 Royal Field Artillery.

British War Medal, Victory Medal, 15 Star, Military Medal.

18/07/1915 Arrived in France (detail from MIC).

Evidence for inclusion on the Purton Parish list: Marriage registers record a marriage to Maude (nee Clifford) 07/01/1918. Further details include William as Royal Field Artillery.

He was actually MiD too, in Haig's despatch of 30th April 1916. He got his MM in the LG of 11th November 1916.

Served with the 19th (Butterfly Division) in F&F.

Odd fact; in 1947 the Western Daily press ran a story about him; that he was being prosecuted for selling Milk that was, in fact, 20% water. He denied involvement and blamed his two sons, aged 21 and 14.
