Hi, Could someone point me in the right direction please.....I know that a relative who was killed during ww1, received some kind of Citation, it may have possibly been a MID, but not sure, would there be a record somewhere of the citation? if so, where would I start looking please?
Any info gratefully rec'd.
Thank you

You may be lucky and find a reference in the London Gazette. Alternatively it may be reported in the local newspaper. Your library may have copies, but failing that you can try

Ancestry now have the medal records of WW1 servicemen. If you don't have access to it let me have the details of your relative and I will check there for you.

There is a thread on Records asking about medals and the relative is named

Researching:
PLEASE DO NOT: send me information concerning your thread on the board as it should be posted on your request where all members can see it. PLEASE DO NOT: ask me for help with lookups as they should be placed on the boards to get the best possible result. PLEASE DO NOT: open your tree just because I have posted information on your thread as I will not be related. THANK YOU. Researching Carter, Cass and Walker in England. Researching Caven, McKill, Sutherland and Will in Scotland.
