John carrig Posted 27 July , 2014 Author Share Posted 27 July , 2014 I just looked up a name I was given by a family member would this be the man in the photo. (Name: James Carrig Birth Date: 15 Oct 1897 Enlistment Date: 4 Aug 1915 Division: Royal Marine Light Infantry: Plymouth Division Register Number: 18304 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay dubaya Posted 27 July , 2014 Share Posted 27 July , 2014 Not wearing that uniform, do you have any other names to go on? A quick search of the MICs on ancestry only gives a handful of 'Carrig's' and alas none with the South Staffordshires, this may suggest that he didn't serve overseas on so didn't qualify for medal entitlement.
