This info will probably be on the original Medal Rolls,with a reason for forfeiture. These Rolls list all soldiers who were eligible for medals,and those who didn't get them for whatever reason are normally shown. To track down the Roll for your subject you need the letters and numbers against the medals on his Medal Index Card. A Kew look-up will relate thuis info to the Medal Roll in the WO329 series,and B--'- your Uncle.

thanks for that

I already have a copy of the roll for BWM and VM and it states "medals forfeit" now looking for the reason why. I have requested a researcher based in the UK to carry out further research
