priv Posted 17 August , 2004 Share Posted 17 August , 2004 Rob, I came across a Victory mendal to the B.R.C.S. the other week, the first I have ever seen. I contacted the British Red Cross and they got back to me acknowledging my request very quickly. They did state that it may take 2 to 3 weeks to get back to me, but it will be well worth the wait. Let me know how you get on, and I accordingly. James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Terry_Reeves Posted 17 August , 2004 Share Posted 17 August , 2004 I had excellent help in researching a VAD who had the BWM. This included dates of service and the hospitals she served at in the UK and France. The BRCS could not have been more helpfull.

Paul Nixon Posted 8 September , 2004 Share Posted 8 September , 2004 Hello again Rob. Stating the obvious really, but now that you have more details via the MIC, check the relevant Medal Roll - BRX / 103 B Page 115 to see if that reveals further information. You should also check throught the Burnt and Unburnt Documents at the National Archives to see if his service record survives. So looks like a trip to sunny Kew could be on the cards for you...

Rob Bulloch Posted 8 September , 2004 Author Share Posted 8 September , 2004 Hi Paul . Thanks for the reply. And for the information Re: Richard D MacLean. but as I am in Canada a trip to Kew is a bit of a bind, I may put this in the Going to the PRO thread and see what happens.
