KGarrad,

I must admit that I hadn't thought of that even though I've come across the situation before! After another check I can't see a 2nd index card though it's certainly not impossible I've completely missed it.

Regards

Simon

I just checked also, and cannot find a second medal card, I wasn't aware that the medals could be on 2 medal index cards for the usual 3 WWI medals, although I did know you got a second card for a gallantry award.

You learn something every day  :)

If there are 2 cards it's usually a bureaucratic slip! ;D
Or the soldier has been indexed with variations of his name?

Frank,

I've only ever looked into one soldier who received a gallantry medal, my wife's grandad CSM J.B.Hill DCM and his service medals are on the same card as his DCM so thank you for highlighting the possibility of two cards which I'll bare in mind in future

Regards

The Medal Index Cards are what it says on the box i.e. an Index to the Rolls etc.

As Ken says there are some occasions where there are two cards. If there were two cards for this man i.e one for the 'pair' and one for the 15 Star with the latter being 'missing' then shouldn't we expect to see him in the 1915 Rolls? I can't see him there.

Brian,

Please make sure the Museum is open before you visit as the connected building is being demolished.  The Mcrs Archive is at the Ashton library but not open everyday. If I'm repeating myself I apologise, just returned from the pub,
Regards

Simon
