Guest Ian Bowbrick Posted 12 July , 2003 Share Posted 12 July , 2003 I came across an MIC today for an officer in the Cheshire Regt who forfeited his BWM/Victory medal pair because he had been convicted of a civil crime. The words 'Suspense List' were written at the top of the MIC in upper case letters. Does anyone know what the suspense list is? Ian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Muerrisch Posted 13 July , 2003 Share Posted 13 July , 2003 No, I don't, but I suspect he was a candidate for reconsideration: I have a documented case where a man won the MM, subsequently deserted after what was clearly a shocking domestic crisis, gave himself up, District Court Martial, served 6 months sentence, went back to the Western front, survived, MM deemed forfeit and then issued having been reconsidered .... perhaps a suspense case? Or otherwise how else does a name get taken off the back boiler for reconsideration? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
