Hi all

Ive found my GG uncles MIC and cannot read the entry under the "15 Star" part of the card or the rest of the text, the numbers are clear though!!

unfortuantly this is as clear a scan as i can make....any ideas?

He was Pte William Sales 1649 RAMC.

Thanks Col

"dup sup", could it be duplicate supplied and the remainder the reference to an amendment on the medal rolls?

Yes, the 15 Star was issued against roll RAMC/13B page 1049 and a duplicate against RAMC/19B page 1598.

The War and Victory Medals were issued against RAMC/101B52 page 3775.

He was discharged to Class Z Army Reserve on 15 July 1919.

It may well be Supplementary Roll. These were used to record the "strays" that somehow got missed off the main rolls.

Hello

The coldstream gds Ive seen on supplement rolls have usually been so for interesting reasons - such as sentanced to death !

That does sound interesting....as far as i know he wasnt one of those!!!

did the medal rolls get prepared once the war was over or did they get done regularly, and listed those killed / injured?

Also is it likely that someone here may have a copy of these listed?

Hello

depends on the unit, I can only talk with any fact about the coldstream Gds

The 14 star rolls are very good - show details such as POW, discharged, killed, transfer dates etc

15 star rolls show killed etc or discharged

victory rolls are pretty boring - only some show ranks that are not on the MIC - such as acting ranks

Some one may have a copy -you are best to do a seperate post
