Jonathan D'Hooghe Posted 13 April , 2019 Share Posted 13 April , 2019 Could anyone help me please to locate confirmation that this chap won a MM or DCM? I can't make out with any certainty the medal ribbon in the photo. He arrived in France in Feb 1915 and has 4 years overseas service stripes Thank you Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
little bob Posted 13 April , 2019 Share Posted 13 April , 2019 Sergeant Wood won the Military Medal, London Gazette 14/1/1918. Find my Past have some of his service papers. Bob Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Langdon Posted 13 April , 2019 Share Posted 13 April , 2019 His pension records are on Ancestry with a lot of service detail. If you have or can gain access - here. There's an entry: "Awarded MM DRO no.749 a/26/10/17" Can't locate 1st SG war diaries after July 1915 on Ancestry - but they are downloadable (for a small fee) here at the National Archives Mike Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jonathan D'Hooghe Posted 13 April , 2019 Author Share Posted 13 April , 2019 Thank you very much. Especially with the London Gazette search as I find their search engine to be a real handful! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
