Hello

I am research a soldier named R.Q.M.S.-Lieut. Charles Jeoffrey Crooke, 2ND King's Shropshire L.I.,

I have a card which states that this man was awarded the M.I.D., dated on card 9 March 1918

can anyone help with where to locate more information on how he got this award 

I have search the Regimental History which only has him in the index for being awarded 

He was also awarded the M.S.M. 

Any help or link much appriciated

MiD commonly for generally good services [largely in the same ways as a MSM] so ... ?

Might possibly be something available in a War Diary - perhaps: https://discovery.nationalarchives.gov.uk/details/r/C4558042

Unfortunately not digitised so a visit, by you or a researcher, to TNA seems required.

With regards to Charles Crooke being an officer would I have to contact the MOD or The National Archives for a set of his service papers, he left the army in 1922 i beleive

His papers have survived and are in the National Archives, piece number WO 374/16757. It has not been digitised, so a visit is necessary.
