eagleeye Posted 25 May , 2005 Share Posted 25 May , 2005 Hi, My Grandfather was in the Notts & Derby regt. On his MIC it denotes his regiment and his regimental number but then has an asterisk beside it. The asterisk relates to the following that is written on his card EM/2/2000-1.7.171/C of 7.7.21 Has anyone any ideas what this may mean Rod Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pte1643 Posted 25 May , 2005 Share Posted 25 May , 2005 Rod. This looks to be an "EM" (Emblems) reference. Meaning that your man was entitled to and awarded an MID (Mentioned in Despatches) "Oak Leaf" (to be worn on the ribbon of the Victory Medal). Not sure about the "Code", but the end bit could be the date (7th July 1921). Mark. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
