Stebie9173 Posted 7 March , 2007 Share Posted 7 March , 2007 Just to note, I believe these MMs were in relation to prisoners of war and their efforts in escaping. Steve. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest KevinEndon Posted 8 March , 2007 Share Posted 8 March , 2007 There is no M.I.C. to this chap that I can see so could he have won the MM without ever leaving blighty. Hi Steve could you tell me why you think the mm winner won it due to services with pow's. I am baffled (nothing new there lol) cheers S Kevin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebie9173 Posted 8 March , 2007 Share Posted 8 March , 2007 It's been posted on the Forum that an issue of the Gazette was for MMs to POWs. http://1914-1918.invisionzone.com/forums/i...=Army+Order+193 The Medal Card says PofW G = Prisoner of War Gazette? Earlier in the Gazette issue: "His Majesty the KING has been graciously pleased to approve of the undermentioned rewards in recognition of gallant conduct and determination displayed in escaping or attempting to escape from captivity, which services nave been brought to notice in accordance with the terms of Army Order 193 of 1919. To be dated 5th May, 1919", unless otherwise stated" He should have an MIC!! Aha! Description Medal card of Tubb, William H Corps Regiment No Rank Army Service Corps T/29185 Driver Date 1914-1920 Catalogue reference WO 372/20 http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documen...p;resultcount=3 Steve.
