Hello

not likely to be the same incident due to the dates being so far apart.

best bet is to look in sheffield newspapers

My Grandfather,

Royal Engineers Pioneer 1857 Lewis H Norris

was "Mentioned in a Despath from General Haig for gallant and distinguished service in the field 30.4.1916"

He was awarded the MM - London Gazette entry 11.11.1916

Is this likely to be for one and the same incident?

And if so, any chance that I can find out which battle he was involved in - I know he was attached to 49 West Riding Division and joined up in/around Sheffield in 1915
