You can do it yourself. It's free on Ancestry at the moment. http://search.ancestry.co.uk/search/db.aspx?dbid=1262

[Derek Black]

One of "my" lads.

He was a plasterer and cement worker, his middle name was his mothers maiden name.

Please remember that requesting MIC images is against forum rules due to copyright issues - as is using the PM system to send them to other forum members

Hi Alan,

Thanks for this, I have no wish to break any forum rules.

Alex - if you search on TNA Discovery (free to search http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/records/medal-index-cards-ww1.htm ) using only his Regimental number, you will find he has two cards both of which have been wrongly indexed:

1. As Queenstone http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D4753743

2. As Overstone http://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/D4472857

I have not pursued this on Ancestry (which as I said above is currently FREE to search MICs) but suspect they will turn up there under those names. Over to you to look!

Hi Heather,

Thanks for the links; I do have an Ancestry subscription but I was unable to find the MIC. Indeed searching now under Queenstone I have found it. Many thanks.

Rgds,
Alex
