If I'd taken notes at last month's Kent FHS meeting when the talk was
about military medals I'd have all the answers for you! I have very
little in the way of military ancestors but I was pleasantly surprised
at how interesting I found the talk. I do remember the speaker saying
that another set of records, concerned with medals, is becoming
available at The National Archives (Kew) but as yet only the first few
surnames, alphabetically, are on-line.
A couple of websites that might help are:
http://www.roll-of-honour.com/FamilyHistoryResearch.html
http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/documentsonline/medals.asp#originals
Or Google "military cross"

I live in Canada now but my family roots are firmly placed in England
(and nearly all in East Anglia) so it is English sites I need
information on. I have tried Ancestry.co.uk but their information is
currently limited to those with surnames beginning with A or B (and I
am looking for Randall in this case) and I am not sure just what they
will have when the rest is released - I tried looking for some other
relatives who I know were in WWI (Braybrookes - some survived, some
didn't) and there was nothing for any of them.
I'm still hoping that people on this list will have the magic answer
(and the list is really quiet) so here is the original question: "Do
any of you genealogy whizzkids know where I can find any information
about military medals? My great uncle apparently won the Military
Cross at some point but no-one in the family seems to know more than
that. He was born in 1891 so my guess would be the medal was awarded
during WWI but it could have been some other time I suppose. Any
websites that might be useful?"
Oh, and it is still wet and grey here in Vancouver ...
