French Military Medal Medaille Militaire. Pte E Parish 12409 6th Bedfords

[Raster Scanning]

I Have in my collection the 1914/15 Star Trio awarded to Pte. Ernest Parish 12409 6th Battalion Bedfordshire Regiment. Also it appears he was awarded the French Medaille Militaire III.  

I am researching this man and having no luck as to even where he was from in the UK. However can someone tell me if there is a roll for this French award and any other research resource for it.

 

Thank you

Sorry for inconvenience, I should have searched the forum first. I have found some useful hints from previous questions.

The London gazette is a good place to start

He appeared in a War Office casualty list published 24 September 1918 which stated that he was from, or his next of kin were from, Watford.
