Default UK Medal databases - ancestry

Not sure how likely you are to find a relly, but worth a try:
Naval Medal and Award Rolls 1793-1972
Military Campaign Medal and Award Rolls 1793-1949
Citations of the Distinguished Conduct Medal 1914-1920

Oh yes, I've found my 2xg-grandfather in the Military Campaign medal rolls. I have seen transcriptions before and it may be available on other websites but if you have an ancestry sub, definitely worth a look.

There should be an image, Wendy. What are the details? I'll see if I get an image.

By the way, I should have said the indexes are free even if you don't have a sub.

Sorry Kate, been busy.

It's Joseph Jacques Reg No 957 4th Battn Dragoon Guards Crimea.

Think they have a problem though as it won't bring up your link anymore.

How odd! they seem to have taken them off again. I found them under the New Records section this morning and now they've gone. Curious....

I've got the images back! Has everyone else? I can see your Joseph Jacques, Wendy, so let me know if you still can't get the images and want them sent to you. I had the best laugh I've had all day when I saw ancestry's transcription which said he was in the "4th Battalion Dragon Guards"! Wouldn't that be cool?!
