Guest Fllyn Posted 23 August , 2004 Share Posted 23 August , 2004 I am trying to verify if Lt John Alan (J A) Jacob of the Kings Liverpool Regiment received a Military Cross in the Great War. According to information I have already he first served in the 16th Lancashire Fusiliers, then in the 18th, 12th and 15th Battalions of the KLI before going to India after the end of the war. Many thanks Fllyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steve fuller Posted 23 August , 2004 Share Posted 23 August , 2004 Hi Fllyn Go here http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/militaryhistory/ click on Campaign medals and search J Jacob, 2nd page of results looks like the one perhaps? Cost £3.50 to download but will list his medal entitlement and start you off. After that, post away on here and see what 'we' can add to it if you like?

steve fuller Posted 23 August , 2004 Share Posted 23 August , 2004 Oh, and add 'Lancashire Fusiliers' under Corps. will reduce the pages of results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Fllyn Posted 23 August , 2004 Share Posted 23 August , 2004 Many thanks for the info Steve, but I have already checked this and paid the money and it doesn't help at all! I suspect he didn't receive the MC as I can't find him in the London Gazette site either. Fllyn Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
