Bardess Posted 1 May , 2017 Author Share Posted 1 May , 2017 Thanks once again, Ray. He was attached to 2nd Bn Yorks Regt but as AOC issued his medals and isn't on the amended AO, is that why clasp only? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
roughdiamond Posted 2 May , 2017 Share Posted 2 May , 2017 19 hours ago, RaySearching said: Appendix A Ray Ray Is that the full list of qualifying units? It seems to list only 2 Bn's of the 4th Div, 1st Warwicks of 10th Bde and 1st Somerset LI of 11th Bde. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can only assume that as the Infantry Regt's are listed by seniority there are further pages or an appendix B. Next on the list should be the 2nd Bn KOSB.

RaySearching Posted 2 May , 2017 Share Posted 2 May , 2017 I have come across another (Appendix A) with additional units listed ON THIS WEBSITE HERE Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wylly and it shows the Bn first came under fire on 25th August. Sam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaySearching Posted 3 May , 2017 Share Posted 3 May , 2017 Sam I agree. Still not a full list MIC of 2nd Bn Royal Dublin Fusilier as confirmation of entitlement of Clasp + Roses Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaySearching Posted 3 May , 2017 Share Posted 3 May , 2017 British Campaign Medals of the First World War By Peter Duckers Indicates that the Army order 361 of 1919 was amended in 1920 and 1921 Its possible the missing units were added during these amendments I assume these army order amendments could be viewed at Kew following is the passage from British Campaign Medals of the First World War By Peter Duckers Ray Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
