mauricio Posted 3 December , 2007 Share Posted 3 December , 2007 I am trying to help friends to find more info about their relation. His details are: 281731 Spr. E.A. Fletcher. Royal Engineers. He was awarded the Military Medal in the 1WW and that is all they know. Could someone advise me where to find a citation or other details of his actions. Any help would be very much appreciated. They have got his military medal and two other WW1 campaign medals. Mauricio Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stebie9173 Posted 3 December , 2007 Share Posted 3 December , 2007 Military Medal citations are hard to come by. Local newspapers are often the best bet. His London Gazette entry does not give many clues: LG 23-7-1919 281731 Spr. Fletcher, E. A., Sig. Sub-sec. (Cambridge). http://www.gazettes-online.co.uk/ViewPDF.a...mp;exact=281731 I would suspect that the award was from quite late in 1918. Steve.

So I will try to follow up your lead. Will let you know if I have any success. Maurice. Military Medal citations are hard to come by. Local newspapers are often the best bet.
