I have managed to find my great grand father's milita records. It appears that he was in Derby Regiment in 1893, and in 1901 he is in Normanton Barracks as a CPL, then he appears to leave the army as he is a bricklayer lab in 1911 census but then is in the Notts and Derbyshire Reg (Sherwood Foresters 10th Bttn) by 1917. However I cannot find his WW1 records. My question is.. will he have got any medals from his milita time and how do I find out who collected his medals from his WW1 time? He did survive the war so am presuming he collected them but his marriage was going through a bad time at the end of the war so I have no confirmation that he actually received them.
