ForeignGong Posted 10 May , 2020 Share Posted 10 May , 2020 (edited) Hi I am researching the above soldier who was awarded a French Croix de Guerre in LG 19 Jun 1919, he was a Serjeant, from Belfast, serving with 108th Field Ambulance RAMC. Whilst looking through the WD I came across the item below dated 8.12.18 where he awarded the French Croix de Guerre at a church parade. I have checked the108th Fld Amb WD for five months prior to this date but nothing mentioned. I've always been under the impression that 3-4 months after the action the LG came out but this is 6 months after the WD makes mention of it. Any one have any suggestions. He is only mentioned one other time in the WD on 6.4.1919 as a Sjt and 2 Ptes going to Lille to escort an ASC Drv for DCM. Any help appreciated.

Admin DavidOwen Posted 10 May , 2020 Admin Share Posted 10 May , 2020 From this newspaper cutting it would appear not to be for a specific act? Note miss-spelling of his middle name. Taken from Northern Whig 21 June 1919 (courtesy FMP) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ForeignGong Posted 10 May , 2020 Author Share Posted 10 May , 2020 Hi David Many thanks for those cuttings, I thought it may be a good service and not a specific act, but still a big period between WD entry and LG. Peter Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
