Hi Ladyhawk !
I haven't been able to find your Thomas on any lists of VC holders and I couldn't see him in the Gazette ..... what makes you think Thomas was awarded the VC ? do you have any family stories at all - that maybe we could look into ?
Annie

Hi Annie,
Just to let you know that I've had help with identifying some of the ribbons on the uniform of my great uncle
There is a very strong possibility I've know got his regiment number from the London Gazette where he's mentioned for the award of a Military Medal
I've also been on the ancestry military site and there's a medal card here for a Sjt. Thomas Jones The Welsh Regiment

I am connected to James Rogers, VC winner. His father was my ggg brother.
Does the book have him in it?
I have seen all the online material.
Just wondering if book has something different in it.
Cheers Floozy

Hi Floozy
No sorry - there is no mention in the books I have as they cover The Great War only and I see from google that your relative was awarded a VC in the Boer War

John James Crowe won the VC in WW1 Gazetted 28/6/1918 (the highest military award)
I believe he also won the George Cross in WW2 (the highest civillian award)
This must be unique

Hi Ian
No it does not include that information but if they were killed during WW1 or WW2 then they should be listed on the Commonwealth War Graves.
