London Gazette Help please ?

[mmm45]

Medal Roll says 1st Manchester's too

Ady

Under What Serial number please  did you find that?

Ignore this as it relates to 2609 John T Parry Manchester's who was also numbered  33574  KLR  so its a coincidence

Medal Rolls for BWM and VM shows (MM) after his name, implying wrong entry perhaps?

I thought that at first.
But findmypast has MM and as above it was in the London Gazette
Just need to get someone to find me that page please.

FindMyPast get their info from the National Archives
The ref for  "Women's Services, Distinguished Conduct Medals and Military Medals"

is WO 372/23

Use the advanced search on Discovery

put Parry 8533 in the search for words field at the top and WO 372/23 in the reference field.That gives the the result you want.
Then you can download the MM medal card for this man, which has the Gazette date  that FindMyPast states.

There was a supplement to the Gazette dated 14 Sept 1916 which listed the other ranks who had been awarded a MM.
first page
https://www.thegazette.co.uk/London/issue/29749/supplement/8997
and they are listed in alphabetical order but the only Parry I can see is not your man but is a
Pte B Parry. 2433 Lond.R.

I can not find any mention of your J Parry in the London Gazette despite there being a medal card for it on the National Archives.

I couldn't locate the LG mention either. Very odd indeed.

ALAMO2008 - are you related to Parry's family? The reason I ask is because I've seen a photo of him online where his MM is also discussed. The thread also mentions Parry's medals were lost. So I'm wondering if you may have something to do with that thread?

Hillhurst - I am normally a full-time researcher for the King's Pals Memorial Roll of Honour looking to provide an Age and a Biography for someone on the Roll as Unknown

Quite by accident the other day I discovered the Message Board on Ancestry for WW1 and a Post from K Inglott on the Liverpool Rifles from December 2020 about his Great Grandfather John Parry
He mentioned the Medals were Stolen and wanted to find out more.
I decided to see what I could find and try to help.
I set up an Ancestry Tree and collected what I could
I then found Karl as a recent Ancestry User and after posting what I found on John Parry on the King's Facebook Group I messaged him on Ancestry inviting him to apply to join it and I would approve him.
This he quickly did, now living in Japan he is keen to pass on to his kids the family history that has been lost.
It has rekindled his interest and he and I are both reading through the 552 pages on Ancestry of the 6th Brigade 2nd Division War Diaries to see if John Parry is mentioned.
You are welcome to join our King's Facebook Group if you are interested in Anyway.

That would explain all the The King's Liverpool Regt research you do.    For awhile I presumed you had an awful lot of KLR men in your family tree.

I saw Parry's photo and lengthy discussion re the MM on another site. Can't recall which one now.
There was about 4 or 5 pages worth of discussion. From what little I read there appeared to be some confusion over the J Parry in question. I don't think the confusion was resolved.
