elcoljon Posted 29 May , 2014 Share Posted 29 May , 2014 Hi,I need some help interpreting my GF's Medal Roll. He is 'Southgate. Bertram. I would like to know what the 'XIXth CCB' means and in the 'Theatres of war in which served' part of the roll, From/To columns there is a 0 (From) and W? (To). Thanks in advance, Colin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BillyH Posted 29 May , 2014 Share Posted 29 May , 2014 I am not an expert on this, but I would guess that the "XIX CCB" bit is for 19th Cyclists Corps Battalion. Bit of reading here : http://www.1914-1918.net/armycyclistcorps.html BillyH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rksimpson Posted 29 May , 2014 Share Posted 29 May , 2014 Hi I would agree, his MIC - Name: Bertram Southgate Regiment or Corps: Army Cyclist Corps Regimental Number: 22861 AS for the marks in the columns, I don't think they refer to what the columns indicate, but what they mean, who knows? Maybe something to do with the issue of the medals? regards Robert Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

elcoljon Posted 1 June , 2014 Author Share Posted 1 June , 2014 Actually XIX Corps Cyclist Battalion, part of XIX Corps. Ron Thank you Ron! I'm wondering if the marks in the columns are to do with medals received. eg: 1st column (0) = 1914-15 Star 2nd column (W) = British War 3rd column ( looks like a V) = Victory Medal My GF served overseas after 1916 so wasn't eligible for the Star.

BillyH Posted 1 June , 2014 Share Posted 1 June , 2014 I think you have got that correct Colin, it ties in with his medal index card as well. BillyH. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
