[pbman22]

hi

i have just got these medel index cards for a T.W Pearson. i was looking for a pearson who was a leiutenant colonel in the artillery within the 53rd welsh division.

are these two cards the same person or different?

also what does this tell me and where else can i go to find out more information about this person, such as where he was posted.

any help would be great thanks

I would suggest these are both for the same person. The cards are both for Mentions in Despatch in the London Gazette

1. on page 6766 on 6/7/1917

2. on page 797 on 12/1/1918

I think there may be another medal card for his campaign medals see this link

That's another MID card, Peter. They are denoted by the WO372/24 references.

I submit this one as his Campaign Medals:

Medal card of Pearson, Thomas William

Corps Regiment No Rank

Royal Field Artillery Major

Royal Field Artillery Brevet Lieutenant Colonel
