stephen p nunn Posted 18 January , 2014 Share Posted 18 January , 2014 Hi all, I have posted a question in the 'Soldiers' Forum, but realised this might be a more appropriate place. I have a VM that just has "J.R. Day" inscribed on the rim. There is no service number or regiment, so I thought it might be an officer. However, neither is there a rank. Any ideas why this might be? The MICs don't seem to help. Thanks. SPNMaldon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss002d6252 Posted 18 January , 2014 Share Posted 18 January , 2014 It's possible that J R Day was a civilian who was entitled to the V.M. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

However, there is no MIC for a civilian of that name? Regards. SPN Maldon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedCoat Posted 18 January , 2014 Share Posted 18 January , 2014 Is it definately named correctly, not renamed etc? Just out of interest, if it was a female nurse who qualified for VM and BWM and she married after the date she first went overseas would her maiden or married name appear on the medal? Perhaps the MiC is listed under a married name not the maiden name of Day? Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RedCoat Posted 18 January , 2014 Share Posted 18 January , 2014 Have just found an MIC to a Joseph R Day who was French Red Cross, may very well be a contender as I believe medals to the FRC were impressed only with name. Don Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
