bushfighter Posted 21 July , 2015 Share Posted 21 July , 2015 I am compiling an account of the 9th (Service) Battalion The Border Regiment (Pioneers) in Macedonia from 1916 to 1919. After the 1st Battle of Doiran in April and May 1917 two men in the Battalion were awarded the Military Medal. The war diary only refers to them as: Private Dugdale of ‘B’ Company and Sergeant Graham of ‘C’ Company. Does any Member have a list of MMs awarded after 1st Doiran, or has a MM reference book from which reasonable assumptions can be made? If so then please could you offer suggestions for the regimental numbers and initials of the two men? Thank you. Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bushfighter Posted 22 July , 2015 Author Share Posted 22 July , 2015 Thanks Bob. My problem is that more than one Dugdale and Graham won the MM in the Border Regiment. On the Medal Index Card for this chap he is noted as being in 8th Battalion, so he probably won the award in France. Harry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gardenerbill Posted 23 July , 2015 Share Posted 23 July , 2015 Pioneer battalions appear to me to be another group of unsung heroes! What were the 9th Borders doing at first Doiran, did they go in with the first wave of infantry, and where? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
