George A J Welch - IAOC

[Paul Nixon]

This is the medal card for Sub Conductor George A J Welch of the Indian Army Ordnance Corps. He was an old solider who had served in the Boer War with the Yorkshire Regiment, been present at The Delhi Durbar in 1911 and then served in India with the Indian Army Ordnance Corps.

Can anyone suggest what the word is before "by Govt of India"?

Thanks

Paul,

Issd = Issued?

Presumeably the medal Information came from India.

Ah, you got it Dave, thanks.

I have his medal group and interestingly there is a 1914-15 Star in there as well - not that that's mentioned on this MIC however.
