I'd suggest you search the London Gazette for any MM for him. Don't use his first name in the search though - just A Lewis. There might be quite a lot of hits although hopefully not too many who were awarded the MM!

There are MM medal cards but I don't think they are all on Ancestry although they would be on the Documentsonline site. but you have to pay £2 to view each one on that site. You could narrow the number down by finding all the A Lewis cards with the reference WO 372/23 which relates to the MM

Thanks "Ann",
Your help in the past has been Very helpful, but sorry, not this time.
First name Arthur - Military Medal, not MC.
So not the right Lewis, but it's people like you that help so many of us find the right person & info. Really appreciate all of you who give your time to help us.

Arthur.
