neptune Posted 9 April , 2005 Share Posted 9 April , 2005 Hi everyone, Here is the mic card for my great uncle Michael O'Toole, Royal Munster Fusiliers (7511) - there doesn't seem to be any details of the medals awarded to him compared to the other five cards who all seem to have their medals listed - not sure why? Also can anyone explain the numbers in the top right hand corner for me please? Any help would be appreciated. Many thanks Neptune Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebie9173 Posted 9 April , 2005 Share Posted 9 April , 2005 Neptune, They're in the stamp, top right. I can just make out 1915 Star in the bottom box (he just qualified by 25 days). The Victory Medal is in the top box and the horizontal line probably means ditto for the BWM. It's a "Design 2" card. See this link: http://www.documentsonline.nationalarchive...v.uk/medals.asp or this one! http://www.1914-1918.net/mics.htm Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Stebie9173 Posted 9 April , 2005 Share Posted 9 April , 2005 Neptune, The plaque would be a "Death Plaque" with Britannia and a Lion, sent to the Next of Kin of those who died. In answer to your other question. The numbers are the references in the medal rolls to which the MICs are an index. The Medal Rolls can be accessed at the National Archives at Kew and are not online.
