Ceinwen Posted 2 November , 2008 Share Posted 2 November , 2008 I have a copy of my grandad's MIC but it doesn't mention his 1914 Star or 1915 Bar (I think that's the term). I know he was awarded them because I have them! Is it usual for this information to be missed off the medal card? I've also got a copy of the RAMC medal roll and it's not mentioned there either. Also, the MIC doesn't say what date he arrived but I know from what my Dad told me he was at Mons and was also an Old Contemptible. I can I found out more? I've attached a copy of the MIC Thanks Ceinwen Bert_Pitts_MIC.doc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost in Tilloy Posted 2 November , 2008 Share Posted 2 November , 2008 The only other B Pitts serving in the RAMC is the following. Does this man's number appear on the 1914 Mons Star you have? Regards LIT Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dycer Posted 2 November , 2008 Share Posted 2 November , 2008 Cenwein, Sometimes Soldiers have two MICs. One recording the Star and another the War and Victory Medal. Have you checked for another Card? George Add-I see LIT beat me to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ceinwen Posted 3 November , 2008 Author Share Posted 3 November , 2008 George and LIT Thanks for the replies - never thought that he could have another MIC with a different regimental number! Will check his medals again - although they're framed so will have to see if I can get them out of the frame without damaging it. The other MIC that you've put up LIT does seem like it could be him. I know he was out in France within days of the war starting as the date on this MIC shows and that according to dad, he served with his brother in law who I know was with the 20th Field Ambulance, again as this MIC shows which would support that. Once again, the forum has come up trumps, very much appreciated regards Ceinwen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hmsk212 Posted 3 November , 2008 Share Posted 3 November , 2008 Could this be the same man ? Very similar number to the first mic. http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documen...;resultcount=20 Steve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
