MarkMcM Posted 26 May , 2022 Share Posted 26 May , 2022 Hello All, Recently found a British Red Cross Medal pinned to an old bit of card which had the following scrawled on it.... “Janet... something or other”?? Would love to know the full name! Anybody? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim Strawbridge Posted 27 May , 2022 Share Posted 27 May , 2022 My guess ? Janet Blunden Ellis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MarkMcM Posted 27 May , 2022 Author Share Posted 27 May , 2022 Seems plausible. Ran through the BRC WWI database but couldn’t find anything closely resembling. Sure wish they had used a typewriter... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If so, FreeBMD has Janet Dundas Allen born 21 January 1897, died in Wantage in the June quarter of 1975. @royalredcross may have more information.
