WW1 British War Medal and Victory Medal Number?
« on: Friday 29 December 23 15:37 GMT (UK) »
John Cassidy went Overseas 30 July 1915 with the Border Regt and received 1914/15 Star with them under 12740 though issued by his later Regt the MFP



But I can't find a Medal Card for his British War Medal and Victory Medal with the MFP

Can anyone find it for me please?

Cheers ShaunJ  - I should have said that I had that but I am after the Medal Card for the British War Medal and Victory Medal issue to see if they were under MFP or Border Regt ?
His MIC says he went to (1) France 30 July 1915 with the 1st Border Regt but that's incorrect - he went to (2b) Balkans and landed at Gallipoli

I think you must mean the medal roll, if you already have his medal card.

Thanks ShaunJ for looking- makes me feel better that it's not just my poor skills searching.

To Add to his Puzzle - The Family had this letter copy about his 1914/15 Star - but he signs it with a different Late Border Regt Number ?

Yes that is another puzzle. I see he was at Moor Lane Camp in Crosby. That's my home town.
