ForeignGong Posted 24 November , 2022 Share Posted 24 November , 2022 I have found over the years that a lot of recipients of foreign awards, their MIC will have a single forename and the LG would have a second name. I have over 70,000 names on my database so come across this quite common. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

roselyn2 Posted 24 November , 2022 Author Share Posted 24 November , 2022 If you had the medals and wanted to add the Memorial Plaque. The M. I. Card shows John Jones or the name on the CWGC casualty list for the same soldier. John William Jones.?. Lyn. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
seaJane Posted 28 November , 2022 Share Posted 28 November , 2022 If you're certain, thanks to the service number, that the differing names do refer to the same man, then to me it would seem best to cite the most thorough source. As a former librarian I would have created a catalogue entry "Jones, John (John William), 1889-1917" [or whatever dates are accurate], but I appreciate that this may not fit with the style you are using. sJ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
