Oscar Posted 16 December , 2020 Share Posted 16 December , 2020 It has been long thought in the family that my grandfather, who was in the Royal Engineers, was at the second battle of the Piave River. However his medal card does not include any campaign medals from this action. His service record is unobtainable. Grateful if anyone has information about RE’s at the battle and would he have been awarded a campaign medal if he had been there? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EDWARD1 Posted 16 December , 2020 Share Posted 16 December , 2020 As far as I am aware there were no Medals struck for individual actions. Do you have his name & service no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oscar Posted 16 December , 2020 Author Share Posted 16 December , 2020 His name was Charles Herbert Puzey but his medal card has him as Herbert Puzey no. 101697. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
