Isaac Farrell 35335

[Helen82]

Hi,

I have been asked by a friend of my brother to find out all I can about his grandfather's service records and medal entitilement from WW1. He would like to purchase a duplicate set if they have been issued.

I have downloaded a copy of the medal card index from the NA which gives his details as:-

Isaac Farrell RAMC Pte 35335 later Cpl

Victory Medal

British Medal

1915 Star

Theatre of War 1 France date of entry 10. 7. 1915

Does it usually say on the medal card if the medals were issued?

Could someone tell me how I can obtain a copy of his service records and where can I obtain a copy of his medals if they have been issued?

I live in the Lancashire area so cannot get to Kew myself.

Any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Regards,

Ann

Hello

details on cards vary - the medal rolls may well say if/when medals issued - the star roll in my experience gives best results

service papers are held at the NA - you could ask here for someone to check or pay a researcher - 40% chance of success if they survived the war

and dulpicate medals for ww1 arent issued any more - your best bet is to buy a cheap trio and "pretend" they are the right ones - please dont buy erased medals as it encourages people to loss one mans history -
