Can anyone please help with these medal cards?

[M.T.H]

Hi Kev,

Sorry that it's taken a while to get back to you.

Regarding the emblem reference,I found this on TNA's website;

On some cards the note "EMB" or "Emblems" may be found, which denotes that an individual had been "Mentioned in Despatches" (MID) and that at least two "oak leaf" MID emblems had been sent to the recipient.

Your Em reference number will relate to the document that records his mention in despatches(it should be at TNA) it also tells us that the  award was issued to him on the 10th of the May 1920.

On the MSM index card it gives the issue number (60) of the London Gazette that the award was announced in.Issue 60 covered the dates 18th or 24th or 30th January or 22nd February 1919,he will be mentioned in one of those,it's gotta be worth a look.

I hope that anyone else who is reading this will be able to fill in any gaps re the medal cards,failing that,it would be well worth posting your mic's on 1914-1918.net on the MIC interpretation thread,if someone there can't help you,no-one will be able to!

Good luck Kev,I reckon that you have some very interesting research ahead of you

Cheers,Mick

One of these days would you do a tutorial on TNA? It's very rare that I can get info - I seem to just go around in circles - and you are so cool with it!! I can never get the right keywords for example - any tips and hints would be very much appreciated
