robvaughan1005 Posted 22 September , 2016 Share Posted 22 September , 2016 Hi I was wondering if someone can help locate a citation for a the solider below> I looked on the Gazette but can't find why he won it or which war diary to look in as I have no idea which to look for ... all I know is that he was in the 65th Signal Company (tollcross) but which division or battalion would that be ? any assistance would be most welcome ..

ralphjd Posted 23 September , 2016 Share Posted 23 September , 2016 Citations for MM awards are as rare as hens teeth. Best bet - local newspaper reports , found all four of "my" men there. Ralph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rolt968 Posted 23 September , 2016 Share Posted 23 September , 2016 (edited) A few unit war diaries do indicate at the time of the award what action it was for - but not many. Edit: It is also worth looking to see if there was an obituary when the man died. Again these are very inconsistent.

Plus a list of medical posts, reproduced below. TEW Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
