1. OT--I'm unsubbing for vacation [1]
Hi, All! I will be unsubbing later tonight (I know how to do it, thanks, though!) ;) As of Tuesday morning, I am off on a genealogy vacation through Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, DC. Then as soon as I get back from that, I'll be heading to Tennessee for the other side of the family! Whew! Anyway, I'll be back around Aug. 4. I'll miss you all and will have to read the archives to see what I missed while I was gone--so don't be talking behind my back! :) I will have my la
2. [GAL] British Army Military Medal [1]
Hi all, I have a problem and request for information regarding the award of the Military Medal to my grandfather - Frederick Alfred OSBORN, QMS, 1st Battalion Royal Scots Fusiliers, #4461 - who was awarded the Military Medal in France during the 1914-18 War. I would like to view the actual citation but how and where may I do so? A major problem may be that there is doubt about the date the award was Gazetted as I've been given a copy of the medal card held at the PRO and it seems to show 3-Jun 1918

Will, I have forwarded your question to the Gallantry Awards List, a list I am trying to get off the ground so I need some Q&As. I have info on 3 Gallachers from the merchant navy, John, Joseph, and William. Of these John and William received BEMs, but I have a doubt about John ((he may be a Gallagher). If William is your grandfather then he was a Donkeyman aboard the British coaster DYNAMO built in 1920. DYNAMO was sunk by a mine in the Thames Estuary on 17th April 1943. William was awarded his BEM in

Thank you, Bernard. I don't have much hope of getting a specific book from our (Tasmanian) State Library but I shall certainly try! What you say about the oakleaf fits my memories pretty well and I would plump for a predominantly green CdG. I'll be in touch as soon as I have any news. Kate.
11. Re: Western Front WW1 [1]
Kate, The Croix de Guerre of France can be awarded with "palms", and I assume these don't look like oak leaves. Therefore if you are correct about the "oak leaf", they may designate a (British) Mention in Despatches. Can you remember any details of the ribbons, and to which ribbon the "oak leaf" was attached?

Dear Kate, Have you tried Ministry of Defence, Army Medal Office, Government Office Buildings, Droitwich Spa, Worcestershire WR9 8AU tel: 01905 772323 I don't know of any web site or email address and as they are very busy, smail sometimes takes a little while, however, they ARE the people that issue army medals and can check back to see who was entitles to what. They recently sent me my father's WW2 medal which he had no bothered about by the time of his death in the 1960s, and have also borrowed

Kate, I've come across a reference for a book that may be useful to you if you can get it from a library. It is: THE MEDALS DECORATIONS & ORDERS OF THE GREAT WAR 1914-1918 by Purves, A.A, pub by Hayward 1989. I haven't seen it yet but it sounds well worth a look. I've looked in "Orders, Medals and Decorations of Britain and Europe" by Paul Hieronymussen, pub by Blandford Press, 1967, and whilst I cannot be sure that it is a complete listing of all European awards, it does imply that the Belgian Croix de
14. Western Front WW1 [1]
My father was a regular soldier with the 4th Battalion, Royal Fusiliers, and as well as the three campaign medals, he wore the Military Medal, the Croix de Guerre, and an oak leaf. The battalion lost 1900 men in the first three months of war and I understood from father that some MMs were distributed to some of the survivors in recognition of those losses. I imagine the Croix de Guerre was the Belgian one. I know the medals existed because I played with them as a child but I've found no note
15. Re: [GAL] A. Joyce, Royal Fusiliers [1]
As far as I can tell no register of Military Medal Awards has been published, although one for the Royal Navy equivalent, the DSM, has. I picked uip the following info from the web: Military Medal The Military Medal was established in wartime Britain by King George V on 25 March 1916, a year and a half after Britain declared war against Germany. Its inception was intended to meet the enormous demand for medals during the First World War. The medal was initially awarded to NCOs and men of the Arm
16. A. Joyce, Royal Fusiliers [1]
I have traduced our State Library.... they did indeed have the book you recommended and I found it extremely helpful. Father wore the 1914 Star with silver rose, the British War Medal, the Victory Medal with Oakleaf Spray (now identified), the Military Medal and the French Croix de Guerre (identified by its ribbon). According to the text, the rose is sometimes worn by mistake due to a misunderstanding but father was definitely entitled to it, having served on the Western Front from the outbreak of war (he
17. A. Joyce, Royal Fusiliers [1]
When I go into Hobart next, Bernard, I'll see if the State Library can produce a book showing the Palm you mention to see if it looks familiar. I'm well aware how unreliable memory can be, but I've been trying to picture those medals. They were kept in a tin box with George V and Queen Victoria on the front which had been used to send goodies to the front at Christmas. There were five of them, mounted on a narrow bar which fastened like a safety pin: the first was the Military Medal, the ribbon was du

23. RE: [GAL] RE: Sea Gallantry Medal (Through Mighty Seas website) [1]
Martin, Very many thanks for that additional information about EUCLID. "Plate" means silver plate (not silver plated!), and I have always assumed that it was engraved in some way to commemorate the event for which it was awarded. Plate seems to have been awarded to officers whilst other crew received money - the amount varies over time, but may well have reflected inflation, or perhaps the equivalent cost of the silver. All trophies, like binoculars, pocket-watches, unofficial medals, etc, that I have eve
