Lt William Gavin Paterson, MC (?)

[barrieduncan]

Hey,

I'v been helping a friend research her relatives, and one of them is a Lt William Gavin Paterson, who, as his MIC states, was a Lt in the 6th Scottish Rifles and was attached to the 20th KRRC. I'v found a fair number of gazette entries for William, from his original commission in 1914 to his relinquishing of the commission in the early 20s. However, from the 12th of April 1918, Lt W. G. Paterson (as he is mostly referred to in the gazette) becomes known as Lt W. G. Paterson, M.C.

I'm pretty sure this is our guy, as I haven't seen any info to any other W G Patersons, so I'm assuming there only was one.

Could someone have a bash at finding his MC citation, i've tried all the searches I can think of and still can't find it?

Cheers folks,

Barrie

However, this might not be your man, and I could find it on line either.

Hello

If you check the gazette entries it should say which unit your paterson was with

Just seems a bit odd you could only find one, but now there is another also with a MC - and there are 2 on the MIC
