What are these uniforms?

[Blackblue]

I have the medal rolls of my Grandfather and his 1914 Star & clasp are mentioned on the roll of the 2/Essex Regiment, his original Battalion.

The British War & Victory Medals are mentioned on the roll of the M.G.C. His previous service number, rank and Regiment are also mentioned on this roll. So I don’t really understand what’s going on here.....

Do you think there was a certain date after which the burocrats decided to register all medals via the M.G.C. rolls?

Cheers,

Well there you go. I would be interested to get to the bottom of this one. I had a feeling I wasn't going nuts. I always though that this was the case....but obviously both instances occurred. Perhaps there was a cut off date for Stars being administered by the receiving unit?
