HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 2 October , 2006 Share Posted 2 October , 2006 Beneath the date of embarkation is I think,a notification of issue of "Emb",ie: The MiD {Mention in Despatches} "Oak Leaves Spray" emblem with date & authorisation code reference. The References by "R Fus/38/18" pertain to the Medal Rolls his awards were issued from& the actual date of issue:~ 23:1:22. The other code in the bottom corner is probably just an internal Army Medal Office reference to a long forgotten communique. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was indeed Mentioned In Dispatches, London Gazette#31138, dated 22nd January 1919. London Gazette online is causing me all sorts of problems tonight so I've attached the details from The Times instead. Hope it helps Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
