ackimzey Posted 8 July , 2006 Share Posted 8 July , 2006 My great uncle, Grover Carter, 1st Leitenant, USA, attached to the BEF for his entire service, died of shrapnel wounds near Le Cateau, Oct. 16, 1918. I wonder if he might have been mentioned. One of the forum members found him listed in the British MCI. He was a doctor from Memphis, Tennessee, first assigned to Dartford Hospical (Oct. 1917) and then sent to France March, 1918. Thanks, Ann Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest John Kojcsich Posted 10 July , 2006 Share Posted 10 July , 2006 Pete, Can you look up Lieutenant John L. Loftus, MD, MC, who was an American volunteer surgeon attached to the RAMC serving with the 1/2 West Riding Field Ambulance, 49th West Riding Division. His MC appears on War Office List No 40 (British Decorations Awarded to the American Army), dated 18 July 1919. The action for the MC occurred between March 19-26, 1918, when Dr. Loftus established a medical station during a German gas shelling. Dr. Loftus was my grandfather. Thanks in advance for your help.

horatio2 Posted 18 July , 2006 Share Posted 18 July , 2006 Pete, What a great resource and a most generous offer.

Kath Posted 18 July , 2006 Share Posted 18 July , 2006 Thanks, Pete. Is there mention of Capt. W.L. COCKCROFT RAMC, 2 / 1st East Lancs. Field Ambulance. He survived the sinking of HMT Royal Edward, 13th. August, 1915. He won the Sea Gallantry Medal. William Lonsdale Cockcroft qualified MRCS, LRCP in 1915. He joined the Territorial Force and was commissioned Captain on 26th July 1915, and volunteered for overseas service. Kath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petestarling Posted 21 July , 2006 Author Share Posted 21 July , 2006 Kath I have found reference to those medical officers who drowned on the ship but nothing re Cockcroft. Presumably his Sea Gallantry Medal was for the sinking. Do you have a London Gazette date and then I will look again. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
petestarling Posted 21 July , 2006 Author Share Posted 21 July , 2006 Nothing as yet but do you have a London Gazette date for the DSC which may narrow the entry down a bit. Pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
