Medal Index Card Hawkins (Harry) Look up
« on: Sunday 20 July 08 02:14 BST (UK) »
According to my info.  Harry Hawkins was on active service during WWl in France. I  have an "on active service" address for him of:
C/o AMDS 34 Div HQ BEF France (RAMC)?

His service number is 27608 and I believe he may have been attached to a medical unit

Thanks, that was going to be my next step but as a fair percentage of them have been destroyed I am not holding my breath. None of the ones I have been chasing so far have turned up.

Got another one to find one day but he goes back pre WWI Royal Marines so I'm a bit more hopefull on that one.

It's about my bedtime now I'm flagging just a bit.

Hi Alan,

I've had a quick look but no luck so far, it is a bit of a lottery although I have managed to find some of mine in the past

Good night

Thanks anyway, I'm struggling on for a bit, halfway through doing a big entry and I don't like stopping halfway through but I think I may have to as I am making to many mistakes

Yes I had a quick browse through there prior to posting but nothing jumped out at me.

I'll have a closer look when I get a bit of spare time, if that ever happens.
