Anyone know of a site that will explain for free how a person was awarded a posthumous MC in WW2 please

The first place I would look is The London Gazette.
www.thegazette.co.uk

Military Cross was only awarded posthumously from 1979.

See: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Military_Cross

Perhaps you meant Military Medal, rather than Military Cross?

A different award to the Military Cross ;)

I would still look in the Gazette.
