simonrguy Posted 16 June , 2008 Share Posted 16 June , 2008 I am researching the following soldier: Name: BUSH Initials: C Nationality: United Kingdom Rank: Lance Serjeant Regiment/Service: East Lancashire Regiment Unit Text: 7th Bn. Date of Death: 03/10/1915 Service No: 12816 Grave/Memorial Reference: II. H. 30. I have found his MIC but there is an entry I haven't seen before (you'll have gathered I'm somewhat of a novice!) After the Victory & British entries there is a entry for Star with the preceding '15' and then 'Supp' Could anybody let me know what this means? Also if anyone can tell me any other info such as where he enlisted and how he died I would be very grateful. Thanks in advance Simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ralphjd Posted 16 June , 2008 Share Posted 16 June , 2008 I have had a look at his card, and my guess the "Supp" means supplementry as in the reference number that follows,ie not in the main records but "added" on. I think ! Ralph. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HarryBettsMCDCM Posted 16 June , 2008 Share Posted 16 June , 2008 I have had a look at his card, and my guess the "Supp" means supplementary as in the reference number that follows,ie not in the main records but "added" on. I think ! Ralph. It refers to the Medal Roll Page which as rjaydee says means a supplementary page extra to the original pages,containing extra recipients,not unusual,you may have two or three "supplementary" rolls to a regiment Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
