Again need some help please.I am looking for any information on sisters who served  in the Great War, Muriel and Ursula Ransom.I have found the Medal Index Card (awarded British War Medal + Victory Medal) for Ursula  and was M.I.D. I have also got her sister's Medal Index Card again awarded the same medals and M.I.D., both went over sea and M.I.D on the same date was there a mistake on the cards ect ? I am looking for Ursula's marriage cert. I think her sister Muriel maried Major Frank Lloyd Hewson again need the marriage cert.  I am also researching Frank Lloyd Hewson and he may have received a O.B.E. for the Russian Campaign.He died 11th July 1954 buried in Dublin along his wife Muriel Warwick died 10th August 1980 may have remarried
