MartinW Posted 30 July , 2017 Share Posted 30 July , 2017 Attached is a page from a Machine Gun Corps medal roll: I am looking at the entry for 140013 Thomas Wilkinson and can't understand the pencilled bit in the "Theatre of war served" columns. It looks to me like "OGS" or similar, but I can't find any matching acronym on any of the online useful sites. Please can anyone advise the correct text and meaning? - Thomas Wilkinson was my grandfather. Thank you, Martin Wilkinson Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MartinW Posted 30 July , 2017 Author Share Posted 30 July , 2017 Thanks, hadn't thought of that, but if it was I would expect one for each soldier? 140019 only has an X in there? Is there any significance to the tick in sub-column 4 of the Theatre of War column? Annoying that there is no real information in there but I suppose they were filling in records for large number of men and just put in the minimum needed...
