Guest Junior Posted 17 February , 2006 Share Posted 17 February , 2006 My Great Uncle Harry Hamlet died on 10th September 1916 Through research I have found his medal card but to be honest I have no idea what it all means. Could someone please talk me through it, my old mum of 72 was fascinated that I could find such a thing. It was her who told me about my Great Uncle, my dad also named Harry Hamlet never told me anything about him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Junior Posted 17 February , 2006 Share Posted 17 February , 2006 Blimey that was quick, I've learnt more about him in the last 2 hours than in months of looking. I have one more question if I dare There is mention of another regiment on your information. Would the number be his regimental number or the regiment itself ? Many thanks in advance Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KONDOA Posted 17 February , 2006 Share Posted 17 February , 2006 That would seem correct Roger as there is only one MIC for the 1914 -21 period. Roop Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
