Help with a Medal Record Please

[debs mcfadyen]

Being a newbie I hadn't searched the forum sufficiently and probably put my original post in the wrong place, so having another go. I would be very grateful if someone could interpret for me.

I'm trying to trace my GGrandfather's military life and am having to try all sorts of avenues

I've downloaded the Medal details from the National Archives. The thing is I'm not sure yet if this is my GGrandad.

The record shows a name - which could be him, Arthur E. Rice (His name was Arthur Edmund Rice)

Corps. - ASC

Rank. - Driver

Reg No. - T4/070426

The medal roll says

Victory - RASC/101B47. page 4800

British - Ditto.

Many Thanks

Hi

These links from the main site should give you a good start.

Unfortunately, if you do not have any service details of your GGrandfather then there is a fair possibility that the man whose MIC you have downloaded may well not be the person who you are looking for. The only way to be certain is to try to locate his service record at Kew, but here you only have about a 25-30% chance of success due to large numbers of files being destroyed in WW2, or try to locate him on an absent voters list. The first link above should give you one or two tips here.

The medal rolls held at the NA might show his middle name
