Title: Herbert Victor Foote War Medal
Post by: Sonia Gardener on Saturday 26 September 20 10:24 BST (UK)

There is reference to a war medal for Herbert Victor Foote born 1892 Barton Regis Bristol on Ancestry.  My subscription does not cover viewing of this and I am unable to find this record on the national archives.  Is anyone able to help please? 
Many thanks

thank you both for your replies.  When I downloaded the document from the National Archives there were 6 Foote ref on the page. 2 referred to H V Foote, one in the Dorset Regiment the other Norfolk so I am not sure which one is mine.

The one in the Dorset Regiment was Hector, not Herbert.
