Theatre of War ?
« on: Monday 16 January 06 13:16 GMT (UK) »
I've just downloaded an record a person killed in action WW1. It says: Theatre of War........ E.E.F. Can anyone please tell me what E.E.F stands for. Thank you   :) Lyn

I've also got another one if someone can help. The Theatre of War is France and Flanders, and the Supplementary Notes show.......  M.M. Can anyone tell me what the M.M stands for. Thank you  :) Lyn

E.E.F. stands for Egyptian Expeditionary Force

M.M. is the Military Medal

Thank you for your help Nell. Why did some get the M.M do you know. Was it for exceptional gallantry or something?   :) Lyn
