chris.wight Posted 28 June , 2004 Share Posted 28 June , 2004 Can't help you with the MIC, but he is mentioned twice in the London Gazette, re rank - 13th April 1915 issue 29127 link, and 20th March 1917 issue 29994 link. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Paul Reed Posted 28 June , 2004 Share Posted 28 June , 2004 As he was an officer, he may not have an MIC as he may not have claimed his medals; unlike Other Ranks, officers had to claim theirs and many never bothered. The medals to officers were automatically issued to the Next of Kin, however, with no need to claim. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

westkent78 Posted 29 June , 2004 Share Posted 29 June , 2004 Perhaps he's in the 1% that isn't online yet. Long shot, but worth a try: Email NA/PRO with request for information if said M.I.C. is one of those being rescanned, damaged or not yet fiched. They offered to look one up for me- I haven't taken them up on it yet though, but good of them to offer. I suggest you stress the need of the M.I.C. info for your article. Regards, Matthew Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
