robins2 Posted 7 July , 2018 Share Posted 7 July , 2018 (edited) In doing some research on 201242 Pte. Charles H. ORR I came across his records which state he was not eligible for medals. He enlisted 12 Oct 15 sent overseas and was subsequently killed in action in the trenches of Hill 70 on 19 Aug 17. His mother was issued with Memorial Cross..has anyone come across a situation similar to this, would not he or NOK be eligible to receive the medals??

Dai Bach y Sowldiwr Posted 7 July , 2018 Share Posted 7 July , 2018 Just to clarify robins2: We are talking about: Private ORR, CHARLES HENRY Service Number 201242 Died 19/08/1917 Aged 22 3rd Bn.Canadian Infantry Son of William and Marion Orr, of Coldwater, Ontario. Could you post a link to his service record where it stated he is ineligible for medals? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaySearching Posted 7 July , 2018 Share Posted 7 July , 2018 (edited) Robin2 I think you may have misread his record Not Eligible for Star (he joined the Bn in the field 9/10/16 therefore not entitled to a Star) Eligible for V.M Eligible For B.M.W Ray Link to Documents Edited 7 July , 2018 by RaySearching Adding link Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
