JGGB Posted 1 December , 2013 Share Posted 1 December , 2013 I am looking for a MM citation for a soldier with surname Eaglesham. First name possibly Allan. One site indicates a number of soldiers with a gallantry award. I have had no luck in London Gazette. Can anyone guide me to citations, please?

Sandie Hayes Posted 1 December , 2013 Share Posted 1 December , 2013 I've found an MIC for Allan Eaglesham (Yorkshire Regt) 1915 Star Trio but no mention of MM. There is also a MIC for A Eaglesham (ASC) again 1915 Star Trio but no mention of MM. I don't think citations for Military Medals are still in existence. You might have some luck looking in a local newspaper archive. Here's the London Gazette entry: http://www.london-gazette.co.uk/issues/29701/supplements/7887 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coldstreamer Posted 2 December , 2013 Share Posted 2 December , 2013 Depending on the regiment you have very little chance. Local paper is the best bet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
