Hmmm, I'm not sure whether it's me doing something wrong, or their index that is the problem, but the transcription for the list of names that includes my great-uncle, says
Originating Record WO 363. 44228 William Edwin Shelton, Lincolnshire Regiment
So I thought it would just be a case of feeding the name William Edwin Shelton back into the search and up he would pop, but searching for that name, the nearest I get is Shelton, 44228, Lincolnshire Regiment, no first name indexed. When I click to view it, his full name is clearly shown on the first page. He also has another number on his medal index card - 202120 S Staff Reg, but I can't find his records on ancestry at all! (I was thinking it might be quicker to page through his record on ancestry as it takes a while for the pages to load on FMP) Anyway, I have found the name list within his records on FMP but still not clear exactly what the list is.
