Coldstreamer Posted 30 May , 2019 Share Posted 30 May , 2019 Did they receive the other ww1 medals? A local paper might give a story on the presentation so is worth checking Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andrew pugh Posted 30 May , 2019 Author Share Posted 30 May , 2019 Hi Coldstreamer Thanks for your reply.I recently put a case forward for identification for this man and the C W G C have checked their at their records and agreed that it can only be this man. It has now gone to the NAM for their scrutiny. I have been talking to a local historian where he came from and he seems to think that the award was never received. It was granted in 1917 but he was killed in March 1918. I will take your advice. Is there a department within the MOD that deal with medals that i could contact? Once again thanks for your advice.

Keith_history_buff Posted 30 May , 2019 Share Posted 30 May , 2019 Hi, You could get in contact with the MOD Medals Office at Gloucester. You will need to fill out various bits of paperwork. I will send you a PM with their e-mail address, as it's not advisable to post e-mail addresses on open forums like this. Their postal address is: Ministry of Defence Medal Office Imjin Barracks Gloucester GL3 1HW The telephone number I have seen is 0141 224 3600 Thanks, Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keith_history_buff Posted 31 May , 2019 Share Posted 31 May , 2019 Hi Andy, I have dealt with the MOD Medal Office twice, to enquire about medal entitlement for two individuals. Hope the following link is of further assistance. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/medals-campaigns-descriptions-and-eligibility Thanks, Keith Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
