JRG Posted 28 November , 2008 Share Posted 28 November , 2008 If any one is interested in a look up. I have a complete list for the Military Mounted Police and Military Foot Police "Honours & Awards 1914-1920. Citations for the Distinguished Conduct Medal, Albert Medal, Royal Humane Society Bronze medal & Acts of Courage" Lists Mentions in Dispatches upwards. Listings can show Rank, serial number, Unit, Theatre of War and LG references. Some of the more notable awards have a listing of the citation as well. UK troops only not Commonwealth Forces A very useful list, I found my Grandfather had two MID. John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tony Lund Posted 28 November , 2008 Share Posted 28 November , 2008 What a coincidence. I have just been looking at a list of Holmfirth men who received decorations at unknown dates between October 1917 and November 1918. One of them was the award of the Military Medal to Lance Corporal J. Earnshaw of Holmfirth serving with the Military Foot Police. I would appreciate anything that might be mentioned about him. At the moment I do not even know his Christian name or number. Tony. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Theatre was France. I know he started as a private and ended up a lance corporal. He was in the war for very long. I think he received a gun shot wound to head in July 1916 and was sent home. I think, from his pension records, the rest of the war was spent trying to fix the hole in his head. I have only his pension records, which relate to his treatment and why he left the war, but I don't know anything about where he was, or who he was with etc. Could you look through your list please and see if my grandfather is there. I never heard tell of any medals but you never know. His name is Claude Goldstone - P.8710 Many thanks. Trish Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Acting Corporal J Earnshaw Sevice Number P/2837, was from Holmfirth. He was awarded the Military Medal which was gazetted in (London Gazette) Number 30873 dated 29.08.1918. Page 10119. You should now be able to search his medal cards on line at either the National Archive or at Ancestry.co.uk (free in November) You can also look on line at the London Gazette. regards John Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

neuveenglise Posted 30 November , 2008 Share Posted 30 November , 2008 hi john, my great uncle wasn in the mfp but i cant find any info on it is he listed, i know he was tranfured to the rga in 1916 and died soon arfter and on his medal card he has a number for both the mfp and the rga his name was john woodyer and his numbers were mfp 1308 rga 24098 many thanks neil Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Trish2 Posted 30 November , 2008 Share Posted 30 November , 2008 Hi John, many thanks for this. I found his MIC on Ancestry but there doesn't appear tobe anything on it at all. No campaign medal or anything. If he was discharged as unfit in Dec.1917 would that mean he wouldn't even get a victory medal. I don't know where to start finding out where he would have been if there's nothing on the MIC to even point me in the right direction but thanks anyway.
