SteveE Posted 20 July , 2006 Share Posted 20 July , 2006 Luke It would appear that the Bar to the MM was awarded after he was renumbered.... London Gazette #30897, dated 13th September 1918. His Majesty the KING has been graciously pleased to approve of the award of a Bar to the Military Medal to the undermentioned Non-commissioned Officers and Men:- 830065 Cpl. W. Higgs, M.M., R.F.A. (Norton). (M.M. gazetted 21st October, 1916.) Link to Gazette is Here Hope this helps. Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
