Pauline,

I can only see one medal index card for George Sims on Ancestry, which is for the British War and Victory Medals. The other one is probably for the MM, but Ancestry have loads still missing.

I don't know whether you already have it, but the link below is to the London Gazette entry for his MM:

I can't thank you enough - the puzzle all comes slowly together.

I suppose you don't deal with WW2 do you?

I am very grateful for you taking an interest - it is all becoming clear how much suffering there was and the strange thing was they would never talk about.

Thank you again
Pauline

You suppose right.......... I don't know the first thing about WW2.
