WW1ACE Posted 8 June , 2014 Share Posted 8 June , 2014 Hello all you clever Border Regt enthusiasts . I'm currently researching a MILITARY MEDAL & 1915 Trio to: 19797 Pte. H. MARKLAND. M.M. of 1st Bn Border Regt. He's not coming up on the 'new' London Gazette search system and I can't find anything about him on line or even where his unit may have been when he received his award. In fact little about 1st Bn in general. I hope one of you good chaps can assist with as much info as possible ..many thanks in advance .....Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HarryBrook Posted 8 June , 2014 Share Posted 8 June , 2014 This the Gazette notification of the award of the M.M. https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/30340/supplement/10723 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WW1ACE Posted 8 June , 2014 Author Share Posted 8 June , 2014 Hello Harry ... Thank you so much for the LG dates... For some reason I just could not get the search to come up on their new site. This will now allow some more searching for where he was fighting . (Has anyone rose got any info they could offer me !£ Thanks ...Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kenmorrison Posted 8 June , 2014 Share Posted 8 June , 2014 The index at the National Archives has two Medal Cards. One for H. Markland Cpl.19197 Border Regt. (his MM record?) and one for Herbert Markland Pte. and Sergt. 19797 Border Regt. http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/SearchUI/s/res?_fn=&_ln=markland&_no=19797&_crp=&_ttl=&_ser=WO+372&_dt=M&_col=online&image1.x=39&image1.y=10 Ken Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WW1ACE Posted 8 June , 2014 Author Share Posted 8 June , 2014 Hi Ken ....thanks for that ...did you know that you can't download NA files onto an iPad ? ...Safari won't accept them. Just paid out £3.50 for zilch !! Good to know that he's got 2 cards however ... I guess as you say, these will be his basic MIC & his MM card.. I'll have to get someone with an old desk top computer to be able to use the NA system . Very grateful for your help sir ... Alan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deacs Posted 8 June , 2014 Share Posted 8 June , 2014 I don't know if you have his MIC but i have just looked on Ancestry and found it. I would post it onto here but i am not sure if you are allowed to ? Regards Mike. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
