GraemeClarke Posted 20 February , 2018 Share Posted 20 February , 2018 (edited) Hi Peter, I cannot seem to find it either. Although CWGC records an MM, SDGW do not. (neither does his MiC) Regards, Graeme Edited 20 February , 2018 by GraemeClarke Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roughdiamond Posted 20 February , 2018 Share Posted 20 February , 2018 Only one MIC listed on the National Archives for that combination of name and number, did he have any other service on his medal roll entry or even pre-War service?

Peter Bennett Posted 22 February , 2018 Author Share Posted 22 February , 2018 Thank you to all who have replied, there does not appear to be another MIC Card or record. The local newspaper announcement of his death also stated he was awarded the MM Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter Bennett Posted 6 March , 2018 Author Share Posted 6 March , 2018 Just bumping this up in case anyone may be able to find anything. Apparently Forces War Records state conferment of the medal was announced in the London Gazette (no date given) Thank you Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mark1959 Posted 6 March , 2018 Share Posted 6 March , 2018 (edited) There is a John Wm Cooper killed same day, 5KOYLI. Wonder if this is where confusion has arisen. He is MM. Edited 6 March , 2018 by Mark1959 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
