Medal Cards
« on: Friday 15 June 07 20:17 BST (UK) »
I've read the info page on National Archives and am still a bit confused.

1. Under "Remakes" I've got "K.1880" like a lot of others have. I know that my relative came home from WW1 (otherwise I wouldn't be here)
2. My relative was from Birmingham yet the corp has "Bedford R" and "Essex" - does this mean this isn't my relative?
3. Under "Victory" and "Bedford R" I've got a "+" (plus) symbol with 4 dots - does this mean anything?

Many thanks.

Hi  :)

Have you posted the correct medal card!  as the one above tells us he served with the Royal Garrison Artillery, with his rank as gunner.  ???

Ooops yes, sorry, my mistake!

That medal card is for my grandfather, Celestine. The card which I thought was for him was actually the wrong one (that contained the weird plus symbol)
