tamos123 Posted 21 January , 2006 Share Posted 21 January , 2006 Hi All I have noticed that officers of General rank have multiple cards showing online. With some Field Marshals having 7 I do not want to have to pay out £3.50 each. I have asked the PRO that as I am researching a single man would I need to pay multiples. Is there any way of working out which one would have the most information and do they tend to have similar information as rankers ie Theatre of Operation entered, medal awards etc many thanks T Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebie9173 Posted 21 January , 2006 Share Posted 21 January , 2006 WO372/23 cards are for DCMs & MMs (rather rare for a General) and WO372/24s are for MIDs and MSMs (usually MIDs for a high ranking oficer). There SHOULD be one campaign medal card in Series range WO372/1 to WO372/22. I imagine the majority of cards are WO372/24 for MIDs. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Coldstreamer Posted 21 January , 2006 Share Posted 21 January , 2006 Hello and a general would quite possibly have several MIDs Ie TG Matheson on the Cold Gds was (amongst others) MID 10 times!
