West riding Posted 4 February , 2018 Share Posted 4 February , 2018 Major Richard Day was killed on February 23rd 1918 having just been promoted and awarded the military medal. Could anybody help me find out how he won the medal. Are there any web sites that allow a search for such information. Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

An officer would be given the MC rather than the MM. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ss002d6252 Posted 4 February , 2018 Share Posted 4 February , 2018 (edited) Richard Day, RFA ? Id so gere's his medal citation from the London Gazette. It appears it was a bar to the Military Cross so he'd already been given the MC previously. Craig Edited 4 February , 2018 by ss002d6252 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
