Decol Posted 14 October , 2007 Share Posted 14 October , 2007 My Grand father served with the E York Regiment (23401) and was awarded the British war medal. His MIC card does not list the Victory Medal although I have found the ribbon with his stuff. I cannot find whether he served abroad as there is no listings for theatre of war. I do not know his battalion. Any info would be welcomed David Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Black Watch Posted 14 October , 2007 Share Posted 14 October , 2007 Are you sure it doesnt say ditto or the equivalent under the entry for the victory medal. Most of them do. Neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joseph Posted 14 October , 2007 Share Posted 14 October , 2007 David, His number suggests he was with the 1st Garrison Battalion which served in India, that would entitle him to the BWM. Not Conclusive but hope it helps. Regards Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joseph Posted 15 October , 2007 Share Posted 15 October , 2007 David, Sad to say there is not a list, oh I wish there was? I have compiled a database that shows patterns of where men got posted and when they joined the regiment. Your grandfathers number and the fact he only recieved the BWM suggests the 1st Garrison Bn. Not 100% though, sorry. Regards Charles Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
