World War One / Mystery Medal
« on: Saturday 24 May 08 17:37 BST (UK)  »
Can any of you Military buffs tell me  where I can find information about, or an illustration of  a medal awarded to a British soldier in the Royal Army Medical Corps?


La Croix de la Miséricorde was awarded by the King of Serbia for "Gallantry and devotion to duty in the field"

My first reaction was to Google, but on this occasion it has failed to up with the goods, at least in English. :'( :'( :'(

The Lighter Side / POLYPHEMUS, a name to conjure with.
« on: Sunday 08 April 07 15:07 BST (UK)  »
I have just added POLYPHEMUS ANN to my family tree, and wonder if anyone else has come across this as a name for either gender.

In Greek Mythology, Polyphemus is a Cyclops and the son of Poseidon. Why anyone in 1881, would choose this name for their daughter is quite beyond my comprehension, I should love to know if anyone else has seen it used.

Any help would be most gratefully received.
