Think this is the page!
If this link does not work - F Hobbs - Put in dates 1 Jan 1916 to 31 Dec 1916 instead of WW1
Look on 22nd August page - he is near the bottom of the right hand column.

Hello all,

I have been reading the exchange of messages concerning the London Gazette
and the open archive covering the Great War.

I tried to search the Supplement Archive for information about my father
but came up empty and am now hoping that someone can give me some advice or
assistance.

Here is what I know:

My father Francis Walter James Hobbs enlisted in 1914 as a signaller in the
Royal Field Artillery Regimental Number 82756. His Service record showed
that he was with "D" Battery, 64th Army Brigade when he wes awarded a
Military Medal (Supplement to the London Gazette August 23, 1916).
When I attempted to find the content of this Supplement I could not find
one dated August 23 1916 only # 29718 dated August 22, 1914. This showed a
list of soldiers with a monetary figure alongside each one and there was a
Hobbs, A. but no Hobbs F. or F.W. J.


Any help or suggestions would be most welcome.

Many thanks


Clem Hobbs
