Christmas Spooner - help finding his MIC please
« on: Monday 13 November 17 17:50 GMT (UK) »
Hi All,

I have searched Ancestry and The National Archives and cannot find the MIC for Christmas Spooner, I have found his service records and I know he survived the war.

Here's what I know.

Christmas Spooner (no middle name) was born on 25th December 1883 Michaelstone-y-Fedw, Monmouthshire, Wales.

He was a Sapper in B Coy 3rd RB Royal Engineers, regimental number 113996.  He enlisted on 3rd September 1915 for the duration of the war.  He served in Mesopotamia.

He had previously served as a Private in the 1/1st Glamorganshire Yeomanry (22 Feb 1910 - 27 Aug 1915. Regimental No. 1089).

I have searched by christian name only, surname only, regimental number - nothing comes up!

Thanks in advance for any help.

Thanks for looking Jim, I didn't realise they could request to be left off the Roll.  At least I am lucky enough to have his service records.

Glad it's not just me then, 760 Medal Index Cards on Ancestry and he ain't in them  :( I had a trawl through Find My Past on the off chance and nothing there as well.

Thanks Frank for your trawling, I've done lots of trawling too  ;D.  I thought with an unusual name like that he would be easy to find.
