Could someone search for Thomas William Grace. I know he died in the first world war. The only other info i have is that he might have been living in Hornsey, London.

Regards
Sam

And the 3rd important piece of the jigsaw is his Medal Card, which costs about £3.50 and is at the National Archives,

Modified: there is a Thomas Grace, but his number does not fit, and as he died at home, maybe never having seen action, he would not be on the index

There are quite a lot of sites which detail this history of The Royal Army Medical Corp if you google

Best wishes

i can't see his MIC on the NA site...

seeing as he died in the UK in 1914, he may not have been entitled to any

You are quite right harribobs, I checked myself on that one and modified accordingly
