Patesian Posted 14 February , 2020 Share Posted 14 February , 2020 In the Military Medal cards, there can be found a potential award to 74901 Gnr Leslie Richard Lane, Machine Gun Corps. Apart from the fact that the theatre of war is shown as "EEF", there are no other details, and I have not traced a London Gazette entry Lane was ex-2 Loyal N Lanc Regt and had served in East Africa before transfer to the MGC. He was then serving with 161 Coy (54 Div) in Palestine. Can any learned member suggest why there should be a card, but no award? Is this a common occurrence?

ss002d6252 Posted 14 February , 2020 Share Posted 14 February , 2020 In the 'normal' MIC range there can be blank cards created as place holders for enquires, I'm not sure if the MM range is the same or not. Craig Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 14 February , 2020 Share Posted 14 February , 2020 If it is of any help, he appeared as wounded in the War Office casualty list printed in the "Times" on 7 May 1917. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Patesian Posted 14 February , 2020 Author Share Posted 14 February , 2020 Thank you both for replying. The WO Casualty List was how I came to spot this anomaly! Graham. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
