Ron Morris Posted 15 February , 2007 Share Posted 15 February , 2007 I have a 1914-15 Trio in my collection to Captain Edward David Brodie, RASC. When I first bought it a couple of years ago, I also obtained his Medal Index Card and his WW1 service papers. A few days ago, I was searching for other MICs and, on a whim, entered Brodie's name again. I was very excited to find two MICs! The first was the one for his WW1 service medals which I already had but the other had the magic number which refers to MSMs, TFEM/TEMs and Mentions in Despatches! YOU BLOODY BEAUTY I cried!! A Mention in Despatches I didn't know about! I couldn't pay the 3.50 quickly enough and as I sat there waiting for the document I was wondering where I could pick up an original WW1 MiD emblem. Imagine my disappointment when I read the card!! I can laugh about it now but I wonder what such a card was doing in the system? Are there others like this lurking there to catch other gullible folk like me? Has anyone else come across one like this? Regards, Ron. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Armoured Farmer Posted 15 February , 2007 Share Posted 15 February , 2007 Ron, There are quite a few. Another favourite is a handwritten card for an MID and a typed one for the same MID. Cheers Hugh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chris_Baker Posted 15 February , 2007 Share Posted 15 February , 2007 You could argue that £3.50 is well spent. At least you now know there is no further avenue to explore! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
