Afternoon,

This officer served with the 16th R.Brigade and won an M.C. - does anyone know what for? I can find Gazette entries for his career progression but nothing for his M.C.

Help Please!

 

Many thanks

 

Simon

Hi Simon,

 

It was a 1917 New Year Honours award, with no published citation - London Gazette link.

 

His MC index card...
