	Brian Do you any other info such as the regiment he served in, his service number. On the medal cards there 200 plus with the name Charles Roberts, it is impossible to know which one is yours without these details. Medal cards do not give details of where they are born,so not searchable by address etc George Edit just noticed machine gun corp in your heading, will look further

	Hi, Brian it's best not to post your email address on the board, as anyone even non subscribers can see it. I suggest you click edit and remove it then you can click on Georges name which will allow you to send him a PM (Personal Message) Best wishes, Mayfield.
