He did not return from the war until 1918, so that might've affected it. He was awarded his medal in June of 1918 so that might not be the right person.

I will let you know. The military medal dates back to 1914, even though it was formed in 1916. I will find out info shortly and will tell you when i find out. thanks

Thanks for that :) :) It seems like a mistake that his medal card said that he didnt get the 1914 'Mons' Star.

Thanks

It was the Battle of Mons that took place in 1914. I do not have a exact date for the award of his Military Medal. I do, however have a picture of him with his Military Medal on.


Thanks

Hi. My great, great uncle, Albert E Haram served in the First World War at Mons and other battles, however the 1914 star is not marked on his medal card (the 1914 star was awarded to every soldier at Mons). He was decorated for gallantry at Mons for capturing German machine guns, so is it a mistake on his medal card?

Thanks

Ryan
