sotonmate Posted 2 December , 2018 Share Posted 2 December , 2018 A sample check of two men ( 2208 Sgt MINCHIN and 11258 Pte MINCHAM ) showed neither had a Medal Index Card or an entry in Soldiers Died in the Great War, so it could have been that a record was begun on Home Service and then deleted for those who did not embark for war service mid July 1915.
