Hi There,

I'm not an expert at all on MIC's but how they have been explained to me is that all the numbers you are quoting are reference numbers that relate only to medal rolls and where they are located on reference sheets. Nothing to do with Battalions, Service records or anything useful to identify with whom anyone served or where ! As for the date 22-8-14, I do know, that it means that is when he first went to France and gives him his entitlement to The Mons Star. I know this is all a bit loose but hope it helps a little.

Cheers

Tim.

B862 is possibly the page number of the Medal Register - I've been typing some of these and at the top there is a page number similar.
