Trying to find MIC

[Snowyred]

Has anybody got access to Medal index cards please, I'm trying to find MIC's for Robert Gardner born 1.10.96 in kirkintilloch, Scotland who served in the Royal Naval Division at Gallipoli and later the Western front..  any help would be much appreciated. Thank you

As far as I'm aware they didn't have MiC's - but a summary of his service record is available from the National Archive for £3.50 and that should show his medal entitlement. It may also be on the likes of Ancestry or FindMyPast but I don't have a subscription.

His service number was Z/1375

 

Hope that hekps,

I agree, I don't think the RND had any MIC's. There are medal records for seamen but not so sure about RND as ahve not needed to research anyone in that division.

Think this may be the Lad Robert Gardner CZ/1375 Nelson Btn, Bn-1896

but I can`t get into the records.

He is noted in the Kirkintilloch Gazette of 12/4/1918 in the casualty lists as having been gassed. 

[horatio2]

He was gassed on 13 March 1918 in the Flesquieres salient. The Divisional History records "..on 12th March a prolonged gas bombardment of the divisional sector marked the final stage of the enemy's methodical preparation. The whole of the Flesquieres salient was drenched with gas shells for more than a day (200,000 shells was the official calculation) and the resulting casualties [had] risen to 2,000 by the day of the attack ... The gas used was chiefly Yellow Cross ('mustard') gas..."
